03-03-22 | Heat +1.5 v. Nets | 113-107 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Thursday. The Heat have looked really good in their games lately. They won 4 games in a row but they lost their most recent game in a nail biting and heartbreaking fashion by 1 point to the Bucks in a road game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game and I think they have been playing at a very high level lately. Their team has been healthy lately and all of their starters are playing well and I think this team is going to start getting really hot as the playoffs start to approach. The Nets have been terrible lately and a big part of that is due to Kevin Durant being out with injury. This is a home game for them so Kyrie Irving won't be eligible to play in this game but this is supposed to be the return of Durant after weeks of missing games due to an MCL sprain. Durant has looked great this year when he has been healthy but this is an injury where the return date kept getting pushed back and I don't think he is going to just hop back on the court and be 100% here. This will also be his 1st game playing with some new teammates and I think he will need some time to get into a groove playing with them. I expect the Nets to come out a bit slow in this game and I think the Heat can take control of this game early and keep control throughout the game. I expect the Heat to be eager for a win after the way they lost to the Bucks last night. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 115-107 Heat. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Detroit v. Northern Kentucky -3 | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northern Kentucky. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread against Detroit in this game on Thursday. Northern Kentucky has won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games winning their 2 most recent home games by 10+ points. The last game they lost was to Detroit too so they have some extra motivation to beat them in this game. Northern Kentucky has actually won 10/12 of their previous 12 games and both of their losses during that time were to Detroit, losing 1 home game and 1 road game. I think they will be out for their revenge here after going 0-2 against Detroit this year and they should be fueled by that since their 2 most recent losses both came at the hands of Detroit. I think this is the perfect spot for Northern Kentucky to step up and kick them out of the tournament here, especially when they have been having a much better year. This will also be a home game for them and they were very good in home games this year at 11-4. Detroit really struggled in their road games this year at 5-13 and I think the pressure is going to get to them in this game. Detroit lost their very last game of the regular season in a home game and they have already had to play an extra game in this tournament, kicking out Green bay in a blowout win in another home game. I think they are going to feel the pressure here in this high stakes road game though and I think Northern Kentucky is going to be coming for blood in this game. I like Northern Kentucky to get revenge for their 2 most recent losses here and cover the spread in a nice home win for them against Detroit here. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Northern Kentucky. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Kings v. Pelicans -5 | 95-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Wednesday. The Pelicans have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing at a high level here since they are in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and both were very good wins since they knocked off the Suns, who are the best team in the league at the moment, and the Lakers in their most recent game. They added CJ McCollum to their team via a trade and now they haven't lost a game since coming back from the All Star break. They won both of those games by 15+ points too and both their offense and defense has looked good in the games. They put up 115+ points in both games and didn't give up 105+ points in either game. I think their team chemistry has been getting a lot better lately and I think they are going to start making a real run for the playoffs in this final stretch. The Kings also made some trades to try and give their team a boost but it hasn't been panning out for them since they lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. Even so, their most recent game was a 20+ point win over the Thunder who have been having a terrible year as 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think the Pelicans are built a lot better than the Kings are and I think they can beat up on them on their home court here. I think the Pelicans are actually a team worthy of a playoff spot this year with how much improvement they have shown and I just think the Kings aren't good enough to make it in. I expect the Pelicans to start going on a run here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-111 Pelicans. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Western Kentucky -2 v. Marshall | 86-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread against Marshall in this game on Wednesday. Western Kentucky just lost their most recent game but they had won 7 games in a row before losing that game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game after a very bad game against Middle Tennessee in their most recent game. They lost that game by 10+ points but when they were on their big win streak, they were winning a lot of their games by 10+ points and that also includes road games during that time. I think Western Kentucky is a lot better here and I expect them to bounce back with some much better play in this game. Western Kentucky has been putting together a decent year in their conference play and they have been a lot better than Marshall who are in last place of their division within the conference. Marshall is only even in their home games this year and they gave won 4/16 games in conference play. Marshall also just lost their most recent game to Middle Tennessee too but they looked a lot worse before that game. They have lost most of their games over their previous 8 and a lot of them have been by 10+ points. I don't think this game is going to be a ridiculous blowout for Western Kentucky but they are the better team here and I expect them to finish off their year with 2 good wins over Marshall and carry over some of that momentum to their tournament play. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-69 Western Kentucky. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Purdue -2.5 v. Wisconsin | 67-70 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Tuesday. Purdue hasn't looked great lately but they have still been getting wins in their games with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They just lost their most recent game to Michigan State by 3 points in a road game that they were trailing in the whole time and did not play their best in. I think Purdue is the best team in this conference though and I expect them to bounce back after a close loss like that. Purdue is in 2nd place and is just below Wisconsin in the standings but they are only 1 game behind and I think Purdue will be motivated to get this win. Purdue lost on their home court to Wisconsin very early in the season this year but I think Purdue will be looking to get their revenge on Wisconsin here. There is only 2 games left and I expect Purdue to start getting hot going into tournament play and that starts here with a bounce back win after a bad road performance in their most recent game. Wisconsin has won 4 games in a row but they haven't seen another ranked team during that time and I think they are going to run into a difficult challenge here. Their 2 most recent wins haven't been impressive either and I think Purdue has the offense and the defense to stop Wisconsin here and beat them on their own home floor. I think Purdue has a few reasons to be motivated for this game and I expect them to start going as hard as they can here and start getting themselves into the tournament mindset. This is a big test for Purdue but I think they are going to answer the call here and win this game. I like Purdue to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Purdue. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Warriors +1 v. Wolves | 114-129 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors haven't looked good lately, they have won 1/4 games of their previous 4 but they have had some close losses in those games too. I think it is time for the Warriors to bounce back though and I expect them to get back to their winning ways in this game. The Warriors are a bit banged up here missing Klay Thompson and Draymond Green but Steph Curry is still in and he had to carry this team for most of the year and they were 1 of the best teams in the league over the 1st half of the season. I think Steph is going to dominate in this game and lead his team to victory helping them to break out of their funk as of late. The T-wolves have looked good in a lot of their games this year and they have a nice team that is coming together but they are not quite there yet and this team is clearly still figuring things out this year or they wouldn't be a 33-29 team that is very up and down and has been bouncing around in the standings all year. The Warriors have been in a funk lately but they have been steady all year as 1 of the best teams in the league and they are still in 2nd place in the West. They got to that spot with just Steph playing hard in every game early on in the year and I think he is going to rise to the occasion here and get his team back on track. This is a team that is bound for the playoffs this year and will be taking a very high seed after missing out on the playoffs the last few years due to a ton of injuries. I think the Warriors are going to play with a chip on their shoulder here and I think they can get by the T-wolves in this game. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 119-111 Warriors. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Bucknell v. Lafayette -5.5 | 82-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lafayette. I like Lafayette to cover the spread against Bucknell in this game on Tuesday. Lafayette has lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked that great ending off the year like that but I expect them to step up here now that they are playing in the Patriot League Tournament. They weren't the greatest in their home games this year at 6-8 but they have actually looked pretty good at home in their games lately. They ended the year off winning 4/5 home games of their previous 5 and that loss came in their most recent game which was also their final game of the regular season. They lost by 20 points to Lehigh but I think they will be looking to get that game back on their home court here and they have a much easier opposing team on the table to play against here. Bucknell finished the regular season with the worst record in their conference play and they were the worst road team in the league too. They played 15 road games this year and they lost 14/15 of those road games. They have lost 4 road games in a row and they have even been blown out by 10+ points in a few of them. I think Lafayette is a lot better here and I expect them to play with some kick in their step at home here in a tournament game. I also think they will have a fire lit under them from that last season game where they lost by 20 points on their home court and I expect them to put on a better show here. Bucknell has been terrible in road games all year and I see no reason why they are going to perform well here all of the sudden. I like Lafayette to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Lafayette. | |||||||
03-01-22 | North Alabama v. Florida Gulf Coast -10.5 | 72-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Gulf Coast. I like Florida Gulf Coast to cover the spread against North Alabama in this game on Tuesday. Florida Gulf Coast has won 2 games in a row to finish the regular season and they were 1 of the better teams in their conference this year. They are going to have home advantage in this game to start off their Atlantic Sun Tournament and I think they should destroy North Alabama in this game. Florida Gulf Coast has been getting very hot to end the regular season and they ended their year with 2 big wins over the 2 teams that finished higher than they did in their division. I think they are going to have a lot of momentum from those games and I expect them to come out with a lot energy in this game and take an early lead. North Alabama was the worst team in their conference this year and they even finished in last place with a 2-14 record in conference play. The next closest team to them had 3 more wins in conference play but North Alabama was also terrible in their road games this year too. They lost 11/14 of their road games and they have lost 3 road games in a row now. They finished their year losing 8 games in a row and most of their road losses during that time were by 10+ points. They even lost to Florida Gulf Coast in 1 of those games by 30+ points and I don't see why this game would be any different for them. Florida Gulf Coast is going to play at their best in this game now that they have reached tournament play and I expect them to dispose of North Alabama quickly in this game. This should be a blowout for Florida Gulf Coast here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-57 Florida Gulf Coast. | |||||||
02-28-22 | San Diego State -1.5 v. Wyoming | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State. I like San Diego State to cover the spread against Wyoming in this game on Monday. San Diego State has looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/7 games of their previous 7 and they won their most recent game by 20+ points. The only loss they had over their previous 7 games was in a road game but they lost by 1 point to Boise State and Boise State is in 1st place of this conference at the moment. Before taking that road loss, San Diego State had won 2 games in a row and both wins were by 10+ points. I think they can continue to play like that in this game and get a win over Wyoming here. Wyoming is in 2nd place of the conference at the moment while San Diego State is in 4th but Wyoming only has 3 losses in conference play this year while San Diego State has just 4 losses and has played less games in conference play so far. Wyoming hasn't been playing at their best lately either. They won their most recent game but they have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 5 games. Wyoming has been really up and down lately and I think San Diego State can get the better of them here. San Diego State has been giving a much better defensive effort in their games lately too. They haven't given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row now and I think they will continue to dominate on the defensive end in this game. I expect San Diego State to keep Wyoming's offense held back with their great defensive effort and I think that is going to be a key part for them to win this game. I like San Diego State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 65-57 San Diego State. | |||||||
02-28-22 | Raptors -2.5 v. Nets | 133-97 | Win | 100 | 14 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Monday. The Raptors have lost 2 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. The Raptors looked really good in their games but they haven't been able to win 1 since coming back from the layoff for the All Star break but I think it is time for them to win here. Their 2 most recent losses were both in road games and they lost both of those games by 20+ points. I think they are going to play a lot better here after those terrible performances and I expect them to be a lot better in this road game since they are playing the Nets. The Nets don't get to play Kyrie Irving when they are playing in home games so that puts the Nets at a larger disadvantage here than if this game were to be played on the road. The Nets rotation is a lot weaker without Irving in it and they are still missing their backbone on this team, Kevin Durant. I think the Raptors can take advantage of the Nets here and get a win to break out of their funk. The Nets just won their most recent game but that was a road game for them, they have lost 2 home games in a row and both of those losses were by 10+ points. The Raptors have the talent on their team to make a playoff push here and I expect them to start getting back in their groove as they play more games after that layoff. I think they will come out strong in this game and beat up on a weakened Nets rotation here. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 113-104 Raptors. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Pelicans v. Lakers -1.5 | 123-95 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Sunday. The Lakers just lost their most recent game to the Clippers by 3 points but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. The Lakers are in 9th place at the moment and they have a few teams coming up the rear trying to take those play in playoff spots from them. I think the Lakers are going to start turning the jets on these games since now is the time to get on a run and start playing at their best getting ready for the playoffs. They have been losing a lot lately and they just had the All Star break to give their team a breather and regroup. They came out and lost their 1st game back by 3 to the Clippers but I think they are going to rise to the occasion here and I start to win some more games now. The Pelicans are 1 of those teams that are trying to catch the Lakers and they are only a few games behind them. The Lakers could really extend their lead over them with a win here though and I think they will be able to do so. The Pelicans weren't winning many games either before the All Star break but they came out and beat the Suns in a road game by 15+ points. I think this will be a let down spot for them since they just beat the best team in the league and I expect the Lakers to defend their home court here a lot better than they have been lately. I think the Lakers can step up here and start winning more games or their postseason chances are going to start being in jeopardy. I like the Lakers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 107-100 Lakers. | |||||||
02-27-22 | East Tennessee State v. NC-Greensboro -4 | 73-69 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC Greensboro. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread against East Tennessee State in this game on Sunday. UNC Greensboro just won their most recent game by 9 on their home court and they have looked really good on their home court all year. They have been a bit up and down lately but they have only lost 2 times in their previous 7 games and I think they can carry over some of that momentum into this game. East Tennessee State hasn't looked good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game on their home court and they have won 1 time over their previous 4 games. They did win their most recent road game but they have been terrible in their road games this year at 3-10. They have also been terrible in conference play too and they even lost the 1st meeting against UNC Greensboro in a game earlier this year. UNC Greensboro won that game by 4 points and that was a road game for them. I think UNC Greensboro will play even better on their home court here and I expect them to win this game by more points than they did last time. UNC Greensboro actually plays well on the defensive end and I think that will be a key piece in winning this game for them. East Tennessee gives up a lot of points in their games so I don't see UNCG having issues putting up points here. East Tennessee has already been struggling to keep up in a lot of their games though and I think it will be even harder for them to score on UNCG's defense in this game. I expect UNCG to give a good defensive effort on their home court and use it to pull away in this game since East Tennessee will not be able to keep up with their scoring. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 71-62 UNC Greensboro. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Connecticut -11 v. Georgetown | Top | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UConn. I like UConn to cover the spread against Georgetown in this game on Sunday. UConn has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been building up some momentum in their games which should continue into this game and give a boost to their play. They have won 4 games in a row and they just beat Villanova who has been hot lately and is ranked 8th in the country at the moment. I think UConn is going to keep playing well here and I expect a huge win from them here. Georgetown has been terrible in conference play this year at 0-16 and I think they aren't even going to win a game at all now with only a few games left. This is their final home game of the year too and they are below .500 on their home court this year at 6-10. UConn hasn't been great in road games this year, but they are still even in those games and they have been dominating their conference play for most of the year too. They are really hot at the moment and have been rolling over teams lately, I expect them to do the same here. Georgetown hasn't just been losing a lot of games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games by 10+ points and I think they are going to struggle to keep up with UConn here. UConn has looked a lot better on the defensive end of the court lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to 4 opposing teams in a row and I think they will continue here. Georgetown hasn't put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row but they have given up 70+ and even 80+ points in most of their games in conference play this year. This is the final stretch for UConn and they need to focus here in these last few games and win them all. I think they have the momentum on their side with how they have looked lately and after that huge win over Villanova, I expect them to just blow Georgetown away here. I like UConn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-66 UConn. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Stanford -1 v. California | 39-53 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against California in this game on Saturday. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now and they just lost their most recent game by 10+ points getting destroyed on their home court. I think they are going to be upset over that loss and the way they played in that game and I expect them to get a bounce back win here over California who has not been that great this year. Stanford hasn't been terrible in their road games in conference play this year, they have a few close losses and some bad ones too but they also have a win over a ranked team in USC and they just won their most recent road game by 10+ points. They haven't been great in conference play this year but they also haven't been terrible either since they are 8-9 but that is great compared to a team like California that has been terrible in conference play. California is 4-13 in conference play and they have lost 2 games in a row now, both losses were in home games for them. They have another home game here and I think Stanford can beat up on them in this game. California doesn't put up a lot of points in their games and lately they haven't been scoring a lot at all. They haven't put up 65+ points in 6/7 of their previous 7 games and I think Stanford is going to outscore them in this game. Stanford just lost 2 bad games on their home court where they didn't put up a lot of points. I think they will be motivated to break out of their funk here and pick up a win over a team that has been having a lot more issues this year than they have been. I like Stanford to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 63-57 Stanford. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Celtics -10.5 v. Pistons | Top | 113-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Saturday. The Celtics just won their most recent game over the Nets and they blew them out by 20+ points in their 1st game back from the All Star break. The Celtics were really hot before the break and they have looked great with wins in 11/12 of their previous 12 games. The 1 loss that they suffered during that time was actually to the Pistons in a home game right before the All Star break started. That loss in the only tainted game in what has been an incredible run for them lately and I think that loss is still going to be fresh in their minds here. I think the Celtics will want to get that game back here and I don't think they are going to take the Pistons lightly here either since they have now won 2 games in a row. They even won both of those games over some very good opposing teams, the Cavaliers being their other win. Both of those wins were also by less than 3 points in both games and I think the Pistons have gone as far as they can go on this run of theirs. They are still 1 of the worst teams in the East this year at 14-45 and I expect the Celtics to remind them of that in this game. Even though the Celtics aren't on their home court here, they just lost there to the Pistons last week and I think they will view this revenge game as a way to defend their home court and get that win back after a 1 point loss there. The Celtics are also 1 of the few NBA teams that are fully healthy at the moment and I expect the Celtics to continue playing at a very high level while everyone is available. Now that the All Star break has passed, the NBA is in its final stretch of the year and I think the Celtics will be turning on the jets here and start getting into playoff form. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 119-97 Celtics. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Purdue -4.5 v. Michigan State | 65-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Michigan State in this game on Saturday. Purdue has won 3 games in a row and their 2 most recent wins were both by 5+ points. They struggled a bit after losing to Michigan and even won over Maryland by only 1 point on their home court, but they have looked a lot better lately and I think they will be able to roll right over Michigan State in this game. Purdue has been good in their road games this year at 5-3 but they have been dominating their conference play at 13-4 and they are even in 1st place of their conference too. They have a few teams that can catch up to them though so I think now is the time for Purdue to start pouring it on in their games as we reach the final few games here. Michigan State has really been tumbling in their games lately and I don't think they can work their way out of this spiral with how tough their schedule is in these final 4 games. Michigan State has lost 3 games in a row now but they have also lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They even lost a few of those games by 10+ points while coming very close in others. Things have not been going their way though, and I think they are going to keep stumbling in these final few games here. Purdue has looked shaky in some games but for the most part, they have looked really good in most of their games and even in the games they won in a close battle, they still found a way to get the win while Michigan State has been doing the opposite and finding ways to lose games. I think Purdue is a lot better and they have a lot of momentum on their side here. I don't think Michigan State will give Purdue a challenge here with how they have looked in a lot of their games lately. I like Purdue to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 87-77 Purdue. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Iowa -12.5 v. Nebraska | 88-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has looked really good in their games lately and they have been winning a lot of their games by 10+ points. They have won 2 games in a row and during that time they picked up a win over Ohio State in a road game by 13 points and their most recent game was a home win over Michigan State by 20+ points. Iowa has looked really good and I think they are going to keep playing at a high level in this game. This is a road game for them and they are below .500 in road games this year but Nebraska is the worst team in the conference at 1-15 in conference play this year and they are even below .500 at 7-11 in home games. Nebraska got their 1st and only win in conference play just a few weeks ago but they have lost 3 games in a row now and all 3 of those losses were by 10+ points. Iowa has been a lot better in conference play this year and with how they have looked lately, I think they are going to roll right over Nebraska in this game. I expect Iowa to win this game by 20+ here and continue their run they have been on. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 86-65 Iowa. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Niagara v. Rider | 68-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Niagara. I like Niagara to cover the spread against Rider in this game on Friday. Niagara just lost 2 games in a row but they won their most recent game to end that skid and they won it over Canisius in a road game by 10+ points. Before they went on that 2 game skid, they had won 3 games in a row and were really getting hot with wins against both Iona and Monmouth during that time, 2 of what are considered to be better teams in this conference. I think Niagara can build off some of the momentum from that game and I expect them to carry it over here getting another win on the road. Niagara hasn't been great in conference play this year but neither has Rider, and while Niagara is below .500 in road games this year, Rider is only 5-5 in their home games. Rider was also getting very hot when they strung together 4 wins in a row but now they have lost 3 games in a row and have entered their own losing skid that they have yet to break out of. I think Rider is going to continue their skid here and I expect Niagara to get up for this game especially. Niagara lost to Rider at home earlier this year and that was a very close game since they only lost by 3 points. I think Niagara will be looking for revenge here and I expect them to get it by playing with some more fire than usual. I like Niagara to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 Niagara. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Marshall v. Middle Tennessee -6.5 | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee State. I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread against Marshall in this game on Thursday. Middle Tennessee has looked really good lately with 6 wins in a row now. They have looked impressive in those wins too and have won 5/6 of those games by 8+ points which would cover the spread in this game. They have been even more impressive in their home games though, they have won 3 home games in a row by 10+ points and 6/7 of their previous 7 home games have been wins by 10+ points. They are a perfect 13-0 in their home games this year and I think they are going to continue to dominate on their home floor in this game. Their defense has been really good in their home games lately, they have not given up 65+ points to an opposing team in their 3 most recent home games. I think their defense is going to play a big factor in this game and will be the reason why they take an early lead and hang on, adding to it as the game goes on. Marshall is in last place of their group in the conference and they have really been struggling in conference play this year at 4-11. They have been very bad in their road games too, winning just 3/12 road games this year. Marshall has won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but their schedule has not been strong and has featured 2 teams of those 3 who are in last place of their respective group in the conference, not including Marshall themselves. I think they are going to have a tough time scoring points on Middle Tennessee here and I think Middle Tennessee will just blow past them on their home court as they have been doing to teams lately that are a lot better than Marshall is. I think this is going to be another Middle Tennessee home blow out. I like Middle Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-64 Middle Tennessee State. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Washington +9.5 v. Washington State | 70-78 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington. I like Washington to cover the spread against Washington State in this game on Wednesday. Washington has lost 3 games in a row and all of their losses have been by 10+ points during that time. All 3 of those games were also against ranked teams and they had to play 2 of them as road games too. Washington is no match for those ranked teams they faced but I think they will have an easier time here try to win this game against a team of a lesser skill level. I think Washington will play hard in this game after 3 bad performances against ranked teams and I expect them to come with a fire lit under them since they are playing another Washington school. They haven't been great in their road games this year but they still have a record above .500 in conference play and I think they can hold their own in this game. Washington State hasn't been great either with a record below .500 in conference play this year and they have actually lost 5 games in a row now. They have also played 2 ranked teams in their previous 2 games and their previous 3 games were all road games too. I think they are going to be a bit tired here from the level of competition they have played and all the travel that they've had to endure with it. I expect Washington to come to play and not get destroyed by another State rival team. I also think this will be a closer game since both teams have lost a few games in a row and I expect both will be desperate for a win here when each know they could get a win against the other since neither team is really great. I think this is going to be a closer game so I like Washington to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-69 Washington State. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Kings -1.5 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings -1.5. I like the LA Kings puckline in this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. The Kings have looked good in their games lately, they have won 2 games in a row now. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 2 of those wins were by 2+ goals. They even beat the Coyotes 5-3 in their most recent game and that game was in Arizona too. Now they are facing the Coyotes again in another road game but I think they will be able to repeat here what they did to the Coyotes on Saturday. I expect them to get a good and fast start to the game with a few days of rest and the Coyotes are 1 of the worst teams in the league anyway. The Kings played their most recent game against the Coyotes but the Coyotes most recent game was not, it was actually against the Stars and they won that game 3-1 so I think that loss to the Kings won't be weighing down on their minds as much here. The Coyotes have been having a terrible year and a lot of their losses lately have been by 2+ goals. The Kings are in a position to make the playoffs at the moment and I think they will be motivated to keep playing hard in every game with how well they have been looking lately. This year is a wash for the Coyotes and I expect the Kings to beat up on them again in this game. I like the Kings on the puckline to win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Xavier v. Providence -1.5 | 92-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Providence. I like Providence to cover the spread against Xavier in this game on Wednesday. Providence has looked really good in their games lately and I think they can keep that up in this game too. They have won 9/10 games of their previous 10 and their 1 loss was against Villanova who is another ranked team. That was their only home loss all year since they are 14-1 in home games and that loss came in their most recent home game too so I think they will try to respond to that game with a much better performance here. In their most recent game, they won by 1 point in a road game over Butler but they were trailing right from the start of that game. They overcame their huge deficit in that game and managed to win the game in the end. I think the will play a lot better on their home court here and Xavier has not looked good in their games lately. Xavier has really taken a dive lately and they now have a record below .500 in conference play. They are also just a measly 4-4 in road games this year and they have looked terrible lately. They have lost 2 games in a row but they only have 1/5 wins over their previous 5 games. They just lost their last 2 road games and their most recent game was a road game that they lost by 10+ points. I think Xavier has been going downhill lately and I don't see them turning things around here against 1 of the best teams in their conference and a top 25 team in the country. Providence will have a lot of confidence from their comeback win and they have looked a lot better than Xavier has anyway. I like Providence to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Providence. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Kansas State v. Kansas -12 | 83-102 | Win | 100 | 16 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Kansas State in this game on Tuesday. Kansas has won 3 games in a row but they have looked really good in those games lately. Their 2 most recent games were both won by 10+ points and they were even in a road game in their most recent game. I think Kansas will play much better on their home court and they should continue playing at a high level into this game. They only have 5 games but they are in the driver's seat at the moment as they can finish at the top of the Big 12 if they win out the rest of the year. They still have 2 ranked teams left on their schedule too so I think they will use this game as a way to rack up another win and they should be able to bury them here on their home court. Kansas has won 3 home games in a row and 2 of those games were won by 15+ points. They have also dominated on their home floor this year at 13-1 and they have dominated conference play at 11-2. Kansas State hasn't been terrible this year but they are only 5-5 in road games and I think they are going to struggle in this hostile environment against 1 of the best teams in the country. Kansas barely scraped by in their earlier meeting this year with Kansas State, winning that road game by 3 points but I think being on their home court with the season winding down will be a good excuse for them to get rolling into March and I think they will want to get a much bigger win to make up for that close game last time. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 Kansas. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Maple Leafs v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets +1.5. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets puckline against the Toronto Maple Leafs in this game on Tuesday. The Jackets have been very hot lately and I think they are going to continue on this roll in this game on Tuesday. They have won 2 games in a row and they have won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have not only won 2 games in a row but they have scored 7 goals in both of those games and their scoring has been very hot over their previous 6 games too. The Leafs haven't looked good lately losing 2 games in a row and I think now is the time for the Jackets to catch them off guard and sneak a win out. Both of their 2 losses were by 3 goals and the Leafs are also on a B2B here travelling from Montreal to Columbus. The Leafs have not been great on the road lately either as they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 road games and I think the Jackets will give a good effort against them here on home ice. The Jackets have scored 7 goals in both games of their previous 2 and the Leafs have failed to score more than 3 goals in their 2 most recent games. I think the Jackets are getting them at a good time here since they are in a bit of a scoring drought but more so their defense has been tanking lately. I think the Jackets are too at the moment to be stopped by a shaky Leafs defense and I expect the Jackets to stay in this game with a chance to win it here on home ice. Even if they don't win the game, I can see this being very close or even going past regulation so I like the Jackets on the puckline here +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jackets. | |||||||
02-21-22 | Arizona State +14.5 v. UCLA | 52-66 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Monday. Arizona State has won 3 games in a row now and they have looked really good in those games. Their 2 most recent games were both wins by 20+ points at home and they even squeaked out a road win right before those games. They haven't been great on the road this year but they did beat UCLA a few weeks ago in a home games and I think they can go into UCLA's building here and keep this game close at least. UCLA has won 2 games in a row now and both wins were by 20+ points but they just broke out of a funk that they were in and I think Arizona State can give them a good challenge here. Arizona State just won 2 games in a row by 20+ points and I think they can carry over that momentum in this game. UCLA has been giving a great defensive effort in their previous games but Arizona State has been doing the same since they have not given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 3 games in a row. I think Arizona State is going to keep playing very well on defense here since they have finally found a way to win games with their defensive effort. I think both teams will probably give a very good defensive effort here and I don't expect UCLA to run away with this game at any point. I think Arizona State will keep this game close and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-64 UCLA. | |||||||
02-21-22 | Florida State -1 v. Boston College | 55-71 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Boston College in this game on Monday. Florida State has been terrible lately and they can't seem to buy a win since they only have 1/8 wins over their previous 8 games. I still think they are a way better team than Boston College is though and I think Florida State will use this game to stop the bleeding and get what should be an easy win for them. Florida State hasn't looked good lately but they have also been playing some tougher teams in their conference and I think they are catching a break with this matchup here. Florida State is only 7-9 in conference play this year but that is a lot better than Boston College and their 4-11 record in conference play. Boston College has lost 5 games in a row, including their 2 most recent home games where they lost by 9+ points in both games. Boston College just scored 95 points in a game the other day but that game is only 1/10 of their previous 10 games that they were able to put up 70+ points in. Florida State has a much stronger offense and I think they are going to outscore Boston College in this game. Boston College hasn't looked good on defense lately either and their defensive effort has been minimal in a lot of their games lately. I expect Florida State to stop their bleeding here and get a much needed win. I like Florida State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-65 Florida State. | |||||||
02-20-22 | Marquette v. Creighton -1 | 82-83 | Push | 0 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton. I like Creighton to cover the spread against Marquette in this game on Sunday. Creighton has won 4 games in a row now and they have looked really good in those games. They have won their 3 most recent games by 10+ points and I think they are continue playing great in this game too. They have looked great at home this year at 9-3 and they have been climbing up the standings lately with their surge that they are on. I think Creighton can get the win here on their home court, especially when Marquette has a road record below .500. Marquette just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before getting that win and both of those losses were in road games too. They have lost 3 road games in a row now and I think they are going to continue struggling in road games here. Creighton has looked a lot better lately and they have been winning their games by big margins. I think they can come away with a win over Marquette since Marquette has been giving up a lot of points lately. They have given up 80+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they have done it in their 2 most recent road games too. Creighton has been putting out a very good defensive effort lately, they have given up 70+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and they even gave up less than 60 points in 2 of those games. Marquette has been up and down lately and I think they will struggle in this road game like they have for most of the year. Creighton is surging at the moment and with the season winding down they will come to play their best basketball here. I like Creighton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-69 Creighton. | |||||||
02-20-22 | NJIT -1 v. Maine | 61-65 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NJIT. I like NJIT to cover the spread against Maine in this game on Sunday. NJIT hasn't been having a good year but they have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and I think they can win another here. NJIT hasn't been great in their road games this year but they haven't been terrible either at 5-6. They have also struggled in their conference play but so has Maine who is occupying the last place spot in their conference. NJIT won their most recent road game too and even though they haven't had things go their way this year, they still have 11/24 wins this year while Maine only has 5/25 wins this year. Maine has been terrible this year and they can't even catch a break in their home games sine they are 4-7 this year. NJIT is at least a respectable 6-8 in conference play too but Maine is 2-12 and they can't get anything going for them. Maine has lost 2 games in a row now but they only have 1 win over their previous 8 games and I think they are going to lose another game here. Both of their 2 most recent losses were by 10+ points and 1 of the games was even on their home court. They have actually lost 3 home games in a row and all of those losses were by 10+ points. I think Maine is the worst team in this conference by far and I expect NJIT to come into their building and pull off the win. I like NJIT to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 69-63 NJIT. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Colorado v. Stanford -2.5 | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against Colorado in this game on Saturday. Stanford has looked shaky in their games lately but i think they can stop the bleeding here and get a win over Colorado. Stanford is 10-4 in home games this year and their defensive play has looked a lot better in their games lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to the opposing team in 3 in a row now and I think they can keep that going here. They have only played 1 home game over their previous 3 but that game ended in a win for them. I think they will give a good defensive effort here on their home court and they will be motivated to put an end to the streak Colorado is on. Colorado has won 4 games in a row but they are only 4-4 in road games this year. Also, all 4 of those wins were against the worst 3 teams in their conference and I think they are going to have a much tougher challenge here with Stanford. Colorado has also played their 2 most recent games on the road and I think this 3rd road game in a row against a much better team than what they have seen lately is going to get to them. I think Stanford will give a good defensive effort here being on their home floor and that should be enough to edge out Colorado here who can get derailed quickly if their shooting goes cold. Colorado's previous 3 losses were all game where they couldn't put up more than 60 points and I think this will be another one of those games where they will struggle. I like Stanford to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-62 Stanford. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Georgetown +20.5 v. Villanova | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgetown. I like Georgetown to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Georgetown has lost 15 games in a row and they don't have a single win in conference play this year but it is highly unlikely that will stay like that until the end of the year, statistically speaking. They only have 5 games left and not much opportunity to get a win but I think they will be more motivated than ever to play their tails off here and try to get that 1st win in conference play. They haven't looked terrible in their games lately either, they have lost 4 games in a row by 10+ points but none of those losses were by more than 14 points. I think they are going to play hard here and I expect them to keep this game close at least even if they still lose. The last time they played Villanova they were leading for most of the 1st half but collapsed in the 2nd half and ended up losing by 11 points. Villanova hasn't been playing their best lately anyway. Villanova has won 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games have all been wins by less than 10 points. Even at home their previous 3 wins were not by more than 11 points in any of them. I think Georgetown is going to play desperate in this game and with how Villanova has looked lately, Georgetown should be able to keep this game close at least even if they don't win it. I like Georgetown to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Villanova. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Clemson v. Louisville +1 | 61-70 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Louisville. I like Louisville to cover the spread against the Clemson in this game on Saturday. Louisville has lost 7 games in a row but I think they are going to stop the bleeding here. Their 2 most recent games they have looked much better in and have kept those games closer with good defense too. I think Louisville will have a better time playing well on defense on their home court here and Clemson is actually lower in the standings than they are. Louisville has lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games to teams that are in the top 4 of this conference at the moment. I think they will catch a break here with Clemson and they should be able to get this win. Clemson is 2-7 in road games this year and they actually have a worse record than Louisville does in conference play. Clemson hasn't looked great lately either losing 5 games in a row and 2/3 of their previous 3 losses were by 10+ points. Clemson has also given up 75+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row and I think their lack of defense here will be the nail in their coffin. Louisville will play better on their home court and their defensive play has also been a lot better and I think that will give them an edge in this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-65 Louisville. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Texas Tech v. Texas -3 | Top | 61-55 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas. I like Texas to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Saturday. Texas has won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won their most recent game. They have looked really good at home this year at 15-1 and I think they can get the win over Texas Tech on their home court here. They have won 4 games in a row on their home court and have even won 2 of those over ranked teams. I think Texas has looked really good with their defense lately too and I think they will get some key stops and turnovers here to get the edge in this game. They are giving up less than 60 points per game and I think their defensive play is going to be key for them in winning this game. Texas Tech hasn't been great in road games this year either at 2-5 and I think Texas will get the better of them on their home court here. Texas Tech has won 2 games in a row but both of those wins were at home and their last loss came in a road game by 10+ points. Texas Tech hasn't looked as good as Texas with their defense and I think Texas is going to be able to put up more points on them. Texas also lost in a road game to Texas tech at the beginning of this month so that loss will still be on their mind in this game. I expect Texas to come motivated to play here and I think they can get the win here. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-66 Texas. | |||||||
02-18-22 | Wright State v. Oakland -4 | 78-74 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland. I like Oakland to cover the spread against Wright State in this game on Friday. Oakland has won 2 games in a row now and I think they are going to make that 3 games in a row here. Oakland has been having a great year in their conference play, they are 12-4 in conference play and have the 2nd place spot at the moment but a win here can tie Cleveland State in conference record for 1st place. Oakland is a perfect 8-0 in their home games this year and they just won their most recent game by 15+ points on their home court. Of those 8 home games this year, only 1 of them was not won by 10+ points and I think Oakland is going to do what they usually do on their home court and win this game by 10+ points here. They have looked really good on their home court all year and the opposing team here, Wright State, is just a measly 6-6 in road games this year. They are still 12-6 in conference play this year but most of their wins have been in conference play since they are only 15-12 overall this year and I think Oakland is just a much better team. Wright State has lost 2 games in a row and I don't think they are going to turn things around here in this road game when they haven't looked that great lately. They have a loss to Milwaukee in their previous 2 games, who is having a terrible year, and their most recent loss was against Northern Kentucky who is playing very well this year but Oakland has been performing even better than them. I think Oakland is building up 1 final run here with few games left in the season and I expect them to play hard here to try and win out the rest of the year. Wright State had a good run but they look like they have been running out of gas lately and I can't trust them to play well here in this road game when Oakland has looked really good lately. I like Oakland to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Oakland. | |||||||
02-17-22 | East Carolina v. South Florida | 65-57 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida. I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida has lost 3 games in a row now and I think it is time for them to end that losing skid with a win here on their home court. South Florida hasn't been great this year but neither has East Carolina and I think this is a good spot for South Florida to win a game. East Carolina has been struggling in their conference play just like South Florida and they are 3-9 this year. East Carolina has also had issues in their road games though and they are 1-5 in road games this year. East Carolina did win over Tulsa over a week ago, giving them their 1st road win this year, but they have still lost 7/8 games of their previous 8 and they haven't looked good lately. The win over Tulsa isn't impressive since Tulsa is the only team in their conference that is lower in the standings than both East Carolina and South Florida. Their 3 most recent road games were all losses by 10+ points and 2 of those losses were even by 20+ points. Both of these teams have been bad all year but South Florida has a much better chance of winning this game on their home court and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. East Carolina has had issues in road games lately and those issues have gone on all year, I don't see them playing well in this road game since they haven't in most of their road games. I like South Florida to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 67-62 South Florida. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Jazz v. Lakers +5 | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 17 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Wednesday. The Lakers have lost 3 games in a row but their 2 most recent games were both very close losses by 2 points and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game. They looked really good in their previous game against a healthy Golden State team but just fell short in that game losing by 2 points. Both of those close losses by 2 points were in road games but I think the Lakers should have an easier time here on their home court. They also played their previous game on Saturday and I think with the older players on their team that will help them come out faster and stronger in this game. I expect the Lakers to set the tone early in this game with LeBron and Davis and these are the types of teams they need to beat if they are going to make a run in the playoffs once they get there. The Jazz have won 6 games in a row but all of those wins were home games and they have actually lost 5 road games in a row now. They also played a lot of bad teams and good teams with injured players in these home wins. I think the Jazz are going to underperform in this road game like they have been lately and I think the Lakers will be motivated to get this win after 2 close losses. The Lakers have been a lot better on their home court this year and I think they can pull off an upset in this game. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-113 Lakers. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Pittsburgh v. North Carolina -13 | 76-67 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina. I like North Carolina to cover the spread against Pittsburgh in this game on Wednesday. North Carolina looked a lot better in their most recent game after 2 bad ones and I think they will be able to beat up on Pittsburgh here on their home court. North Carolina have looked even better on their home court this year and most of their games there have been big wins for them. They are 13-1 in home games this year with 12 of those wins coming by 10+ points and the 1 loss they suffered at home was to Duke who is 1 of the best teams in the country. Every other home game in conference play that they have played this year ended as a win for them by 10+ points too. Pittsburgh is not 1 of the better teams in this conference and I don't think they will be able to keep up with North Carolina in this road game. Pittsburgh has struggled in conference play this year with a 5-10 record but even worse they are 2-8 in road games. They have won 2 games in a row now but they haven't really played any of the good teams in this conference during that time and North Carolina is a top 3 team at the moment. Pittsburgh has also lost most of their road games in conference play this year by 10+ points too. I think North Carolina will continue to play well on their home court here and I expect them to get a blowout win here to get back into their groove while Pittsburgh continues to have issues in their road games. I like North Carolina to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 87-67 North Carolina. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Arkansas v. Missouri +7.5 | 76-57 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Missouri. I like Missouri to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Tuesday. Missouri has looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they have been improving a lot in those games. They are only 7-5 in their home games this year but they have looked really good in a lot of those games and even the games they have lost in have only been by a few points in a lot of them. I think they can keep up with Arkansas on their home court and they have looked a lot better winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They have been great on their home court in conference play too, they only won 2/5 games but the 3 games they lost 2 of them were by 1 point and the other was by 3 points. Arkansas has looked really good in their games lately too, putting together a huge win streak that was ended by Auburn but they haven't looked great in their road games this year and I think they will struggle against Missouri here. Arkansas is only 3-3 in road games this year and all 3 of their losses have been in conference play. They just lost their most recent game by 1 point to Alabama and that was a road game too. Arkansas has not blown out many teams in their road games this year and I don't think they will be able to here with an improving Missouri team coming their way. I think Missouri will keep this game close at home, I like Missouri to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-68 Arkansas. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans +4.5 | 121-109 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Tuesday. The Pelicans made some moves before the trade deadline last week to acquire some good players to try and make a playoff push and they really showed up in their most recent game. After struggling in their 1st few games together, the Pelicans looked a lot better last night when they beat the Raptors by 30 points on their home court. They are on their home court again in this game and I think the Pelicans have a chance to even win here now that their team is starting to mesh together on the court. I think the Pelicans made some good moves to help them make it to the playoffs this year in 1 of the final spots and I expect the results to start showing soon. They are catching the Grizzlies at a very good time here since Ja Morant will likely miss this game and that should put a bit of a damper on things for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have already won 5 games in a row but their most recent game was a win over the Hornets in a road game and that was their 1st win on this win streak that wasn't by 10+ points. They were also trailing in that game and had to make a comeback before finally taking the lead and keeping it. This is the last game of a road trip for the Grizzlies too and I think they will be tired and underperform in this game after their performance last time out. The Pelicans are going to start to get hot soon and I think that has already started with their win over the Raptors last night. I think the Pelicans can win this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-109 Pelicans. | |||||||
02-14-22 | Blazers v. Bucks -15 | 122-107 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks. I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Portland Trail Blazers in this game on Monday. The Bucks have looked good in their games lately but they just lost their most recent game and I think that they are going to bounce back in a big way in this game. They had won 4 games in a row before losing that game and it was a pretty big loss for them too. They lost to the Suns by 20+ points and were completely dominated for 3 quarters of that game. I think that loss was quite the embarrassment for them and I think they will be motivated to get it back here and play much better in this game. The Bucks have been climbing the standings slowly over the last few weeks and as the season starts to wind down now, I expect them to start going on big runs and get themselves into a good position going into the playoffs. They just played the Blazers last week too and they destroyed them in that game, winning by 29 points and scoring 130+ in the game. The Blazers have been having a terrible year and they just gave up a few of their players at the trade deadline that could have been helping them win more games. I think the Blazers are going to start slipping even more and will not end up making the playoffs in one of those final spots. The Blazers have won 2 games in a row but both of those wins were home games and they were both against teams that have been struggling lately such as the Lakers and the Knicks. The Blazers had lost 6 games in a row before winning those 2 and I think they are going to get back to their ways of getting blown out in games here. The Bucks are going to be looking to take out their anger from their bad loss to the Suns here and I think they will be too much for the Blazers to stop. I like the Bucks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 134-109 Bucks. | |||||||
02-14-22 | Duquesne v. Davidson -12.5 | 61-72 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Davidson. I like Davidson to cover the spread against Duquesne in this game on Monday. Davidson just lost their most recent game to Rhode Island but that game was on the road and they had won 4 games in a row before that loss. Davidson has looked a lot better in their home games lately than in their road games and I think they will play a lot better in this game. They are leading their conference with a 10-2 record in conference play and they have been a stout 9-1 on their home court this year. Their previous 3 home wins in conference play were all by 10 points or less but they were also all north of 7 points and I think Davidson should be able to handle Duquesne, who is the worst team in the conference at the moment, pretty easily on their home court here. This is still the same team that put together a 15 game win streak earlier this year and right now they are in the driver seat since they have a clear path to their conference title. I expect them to beat up on a bad team here on their home court and take advantage of what should be an easy conference win for them. Duquesne not only has the worst overall record in their conference, but they are also in last place with a 1-9 record in conference play and they have been just as bad in road games winning 1/7 this year. They won their very 1st game in conference play this year but have lost 9 in a row now and haven't been able to pick up another conference win this year. Duquesne has been blown out in their previous 3 road games and I think they won't be able to match up with Davidson in this game. I like Davidson to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 79-57 Davidson. | |||||||
02-13-22 | Hawks +6.5 v. Celtics | 95-105 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks. I like the Atlanta Hawks to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Hawks have lost 3/4 games in their previous 4 and they just lost in their most recent game to the Spurs by 15 points and that was on their home court. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in a big way after that embarrassing loss on their home court to 1 of the worst teams in the West. The Hawks are in 10th in the East and I think they are going to start turning on the jets now. They have a few teams right on their tail for that final play in spot and after making the playoffs last year, anything short of another trip to the postseason would be a failure of a season for them. The Celtics have won 7 games in a row but the last team that they lost a game too was the Hawks. They haven't had any success against the Hawks lately and they are 0-2 against them this year. The Celtics have started to fade a bit with their play lately, they were winning a lot of their games by impressive margins but they just won their most recent game on their home court by 6 points and against the Nuggets who haven't looked that dominant in their games lately. I think this big run for the Celtics is coming to an end soon and I think the Hawks are the perfect team to try and end it since the Celtics haven't been able to beat them yet this year. I think the Hawks are going to snap out of their funk here and even if they don't pull of an upset here, they will keep the game close. I like the Hawks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-106 Hawks. | |||||||
02-13-22 | Robert Morris v. Youngstown State -7 | 73-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Youngstown State. I like Youngstown State to cover the spread against Robert Morris in this game on Sunday. Youngstown State has won 6 games in a row now and they have looked good in those games lately. They just won their most recent game by 10+ points and 3/4 of their previous 4 home games have been won by 10+ points too, with the other being a win by 7 over Oakland. I like the defensive effort that they have been giving in their games lately too, they have only given up 70+ points in 1 game of their previous 4. They have also looked good in most of their home games this year and their games in conference play. I can't say the same for Robert Morris though, they have been terrible in conference play this year and even worse in their road games. They are 4-12 in conference play and 2-11 in road games and I don't think they are going to have much of a chance on the road against Youngstown State who has looked really good lately. Robert Morris has lost 2 games in a row, only 1 of those games were lost by 10+ points but they were both at home too. Their most recent road game was a win over IUPUI who doesn't even have a win in conference play this year but their 4 road games before that were all losses and most of them were not even close. I think Youngstown State has been rolling lately and I don't think Robert Morris is going to be the team that is going to slow them down with how bad they have been this year. I like Youngstown State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Youngstown State. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Ole Miss v. Missouri -1.5 | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Missouri. I like Missouri to cover the spread against Ole Miss in this game on Saturday. Missouri hasn't looked great lately winning 1/6 games in their previous 6 and they just lost their most recent game by 8 to Vanderbilt. Ole Miss hasn't looked any better though and I think Missouri can get a win here on their home court in this game. They have not been having a good year but they are above .500 in their home games this year and I think this is their best shot to win a game and start to build some momentum in this final stretch of the year. They have lost 3 home games in a row but they have looked really good in those games and were very close to beating some very good teams. All 3 of those losses were within 3 points and 1 of those losses was even by 1 point against Auburn who was ranked 1st in the country at the time. They have even upset Alabama on their home court this year. Ole Miss is lower in than the standings than Missouri is and they have struggled a lot in conference play this year winning just 3/11 games. They have also looked terrible in their road games with wins in 1/5 road games this year. They have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to skid here in a hostile environment against a team that has looked good on their home court and has been able to compete with some really good teams on their home floor. I think Missouri is playing better and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Missouri. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Delaware State v. Howard -18.5 | 72-85 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Howard. I like Howard to cover the spread against Delaware State in this game on Saturday. Howard has won 3 games in a row and they just won their most recent game by 50+ points on their home court. They held the opposing team to less than 40 points and I think they can continue to play great defense in this game too. They haven't given up 70+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row and I think their great defense will be what helps them pull away in this game and cover the spread here. They just played Delaware State less than 1 week ago and they only won that road game by 5 points. I think they can do much better when they're on their home court again and I expect them to lay a beating on Delaware State here. Delaware State is the worst team in their conference and they are only 2-18 overall this year. They haven't won a game in conference play yet losing all 7 and they have been terrible in road games too losing all 8 of their road games. Delaware State has only won 2 games this year but they have lost 16 games in a row since that previous win. They don't put up a lot of points either and have only put up 60+ points in 1 game of their previous 3. I think Howard can take advantage of them here on their home court and I expect a Howard to pull away early in this game. I like Howard to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-47 Howard. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Lafayette v. Lehigh -3.5 | 73-69 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lehigh. I like Lehigh to cover the spread against Lafayette in this game on Saturday. Lehigh has lost 2 games in a row now but I think it is time for them to bounce back here. They just lost their most recent game to Colgate by 15+ points on the road and I was on Colgate in that game but now I like Lehigh to bounce back from that loss and pick up a win here on their home court. They haven't looked terrible in their games lately, they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games but some of those games were really close. They did get 1 win during that time but the other 2 losses they suffered were by 6 points at home to Boston U and by 2 points in a road game against Holy Cross. Lehigh hasn't been great this year but they have played their best on their home court and have managed to stay at least .500 with a 6-6 record on their home court. They even have a conference record above .500 at 7-6 and that is more than Lafayette can say since their record in conference play is 4-7 this year. Lafayette has also looked terrible in their road games this year winning 3/11 games. Lafayette had won 2 games in a row in their previous 3 but both of those games were on their home court and once they went to play in a road game they got destroyed, losing to Navy by 20+ points and Lafayette didn't even put up 50+ points in that game either. Lafayette has been terrible in road games all year and I expect that to continue here when they play Lehigh. Lehigh has looked a lot better on their home court and I think they can get break out of their funk with a win here. I like Lehigh to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 74-62 Lehigh. | |||||||
02-11-22 | Northern Kentucky -6 v. Green Bay | 71-62 | Win | 100 | 15 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northern Kentucky. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread against Wisconsin-Green Bay in this game on Friday. Northern Kentucky has lost 1/10 games in their previous 10 and they have looked really good lately. That loss just happened last weekend against Detroit but they responded to it well and bounced back in their next game, beating Wisconsin-Milwaukee by 30+ points while holding them to less than 40 points in that game. They played great defense in that game and that was a road game for them too, I expect them to carry over that great defensive play into this game too. Green Bay is even lower than Milwaukee is in their conference standings and they have struggled in conference play this year winning just 3/14 games. Those 3 wins in their conference play came a while ago though and they have lost 6 games in a row since their last win. They lost 4 of those games by 10+ points, including their previous 3 games, and I think they are going to continue that here. Green Bay is already near the bottom of the conference and I think they are going to have a hard time keeping up with Northern Kentucky who has been playing well in conference play this year. I think Northern Kentucky's defense is what's going to separate them here and I expect them to put up a similar performance. Their defense was so good in their most recent game, not only did it allow them to pull ahead and keep adding on to their lead, but they held the opposing team to 39 points and that is really hard to do even against some of the lower division schools. I don't think Green Bay is going to put up a lot of points here and I expect them to fall behind by a lot early in this game. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-44 Northern Kentucky. | |||||||
02-11-22 | Thunder v. 76ers -13 | 87-100 | Push | 0 | 14 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder in this game on Friday. The 76ers just lost their most recent game against the Suns and I think they are going to bounce back here. Losing to the Suns is understandable since they boast the best record in the league this year and I think it is time for the 76ers to get back on a roll. They have lost 3/4 games in their previous 4 but before that they had won 5 games in a row and I expect them to get back to that now. The 76ers have looked great lately and they have taken over the 1st place spot in their division from the Nets. It is also very exciting in Philadelphia at the moment since they have finally dumped Ben Simmons trading him to the Nets for James Harden. Harden won't be able to play in this game but I don't think they are going to even need him here to lay a beating on the Thunder. The 76ers were already playing very well but now they will be even better as they search for an NBA title this year. I think the 76ers are going to have a lot of confidence and momentum on their side in this game due to that trade and the atmosphere it brings along with it. I expect the 76ers players to play more energized tonight knowing that news and that their team just got even stronger. The Thunder have started to skid again anyway losing 3 games in a row and I expect them to continue losing games. They had a bit of a hot streak over a week ago but now that has faded and until they get Gilgeous-Alexander back in their rotation, they look like a team that struggles to compete every night. I don't even think the 76ers would need that trade to go through to win this game by 20+ points but the news alone brings energy to the entire organization. I'm expecting a strong performance for the 76ers here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 124-99 76ers. | |||||||
02-10-22 | Murray State -14.5 v. Tennessee State | Top | 73-62 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Murray State. I like Murray State to cover the spread against Tennessee State in this game on Thursday. Murray State is leading their conference at the moment with a 22-2 record and they are a perfect 12-0 in their conference play this year. They are also 7-1 on the road this year and I think they will be extending that to 8-1 after this game. Murray State has looked really good this year and they are surprisingly the best team in the conference at the moment. They have won 12 games in a row and even though they were all in conference play, they have still played some good teams this year like their win over Belmont who was the favorite to win the conference at the beginning of the year. Murray State was about a 7 point dog in that game and they upset Belmont on the road by 20+ points. They have also won over Tennessee State earlier this year, they played them in a home games and won by 20+ points but I don't see Murray State struggling against them in this road game and I think they are going to repeat what they did to them in that 1st meeting. They just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before that and they haven't looked good against the really good teams in their conference. Their most recent home game was against Belmont and they lost that game by 20+ points. Belmont is definitely on the same level as Murray State and those 2 teams are the most competitive teams in their conference. Belmont just destroyed Tennessee State in a road game and Murray State did the same thing to Belmont earlier this year. Murray State is leagues above Tennessee State here and I don't see any reason why Murray State won't win this game by 20+ points. I like Murray State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 88-64 Murray State. | |||||||
02-10-22 | Nets +2.5 v. Wizards | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Thursday. The Nets have lost 9 games in a row now and I think it is time for them to end their losing skid here with a win over the Wizards. The Nets have been in deep hot water ever since losing Kevin Durant to injury. They have been losing even more lately since they have been missing James Harden too who is also injured now. They are on the road here though and I think this is their best shot to end their skid and get a win since they will at least have Kyrie Irving back in their rotation. The Wizards have been struggling in their own way lately, they have had a huge issue with taking big leads in games, usually 10+ points, and then blowing those leads to end up losing the game. Not only have they looked terrible lately blowing all of these leads, but they are also missing arguably their best player in Bradley Beal who is out due to injury. This is really going to be more of a game that has almost no stars playing in it because of all the injuries and since that's the case I expect the Nets to win this game since they still have Irving playing along with supporting role players and a bunch that is stronger than the players the Wizards have. The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row and they have only won 1/9 games in their previous 9. Their games haven't been close either and lately they have been losing by 10+ points in a lot of their games. I think the Nets can take advantage of the struggling Wizards here and I expect them to end their losing skid with a win here. I like the Nets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 110-107 Nets. | |||||||
02-10-22 | Old Dominion v. Middle Tennessee -5.5 | 48-63 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee State. I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread against Old Dominion in this game on Thursday. Middle Tennessee State has looked very good in their games lately, they have 6 wins in their previous 7 games. They just lost a game last Saturday on the road but they were play UAB who is a very good 8-2 in conference play this year. They have bounced back since that loss with a win over UTSA in their most recent game and I think they are going to go on another run here. They have looked very good in home games this year and they are a perfect 10-0. Not only are they 10-0 at home and have looked great in those games, but 8/10 of their home games this year have been won by 10+ points. They only won their most recent home game by 9 points and they gave up 75 points in that game but in most of their home games this year, their defense has looked great and they have not given up 70+ points in many games on their home court. Old Dominion has lost 2 games in a row and I don't think they are going to come close to breaking that funk here. Both of their losses were by 20+ points and they have struggled in a lot of their games this year. They haven't looked good in conference play this year since they are below .500 in those games but they have also looked bad on the road too winning 3/10 games played on the road this year. They have lost by 20+ points in 2 games in a row and they have also lost by 20+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 road games. I think Old Dominion is going to continue struggling here and I think Middle Tennessee State will breeze through them on their own home court here. I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 81-67 Middle Tennessee State. | |||||||
02-09-22 | Warriors +2.5 v. Jazz | Top | 85-111 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have won 9 games in a row and are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. I think the Warriors can upset Utah in this game and take home the win with how good they have looked lately. The Warriors are going to be missing Klay Thompson in this game but they have been destroying teams all year since the start of the season so missing Thompson in this game doesn't really impact the team that heavily since we've seen they can get themselves into this position as the 2nd place team in the West without him. Curry will still be playing though and I think he will be enough to lead his team to a win against the Jazz here. The Jazz have won 3 games in a row and they have looked a lot better lately ever since getting Donovan Mitchell back but they haven't really played a team like the Warriors in their previous 3 games and I think they are going to struggle against them even with Mitchell back in the rotation. The Jazz have won 3 games in a row but none of the teams they played were impressive to win against. During this run, they barely scraped by a Nuggets team without Jokic by 4 points, they beat up on an injured Nets team missing both Durant and Harden, and they won their most recent game at home over the Knicks who have been falling apart for a while now. I think the absence of Rudy Gobert for the Jazz is going to play a large role in them losing this game and I expect the Warriors to clean up on a lot of the rebounds. I think the Warriors have looked a lot better than the Jazz this year and I expect the Jazz to struggle against the Warriors while still missing some star players. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-104 Warriors. | |||||||
02-09-22 | Blackhawks v. Oilers -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers -1.5. I like the Edmonton Oilers puckline against the Chicago Blackhawks in this game on Wednesday. The Oilers are playing on a B2B at home here and they lost their game last night against Vegas getting shut out 4-0 in that game. To lose 4-0 on home ice is very embarrassing, especially for a team like the Oilers who look at themselves like 1 of the best teams in the league with all of their talent. I think they are going to play angry in this game being on home ice again and I expect them to bounce back with a huge win here. Any time a team in the NHL gets shut out that team usually makes it a point to score a ton in their next game to make up for a bad game. Well I think the Oilers are going to do that here and they are getting Chicago here who roll into town losing 3 games in a row. Not only have they lost 3 in a row but they have also lost 6/7 in their previous 7 games. The Blackhawks are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and they have not looked good in any of their games really. I think they are going to keep struggling all year and I expect the Oilers to pounce on this opportunity to get a bounce back game and beat up on a very bad team. This is the 1st game back for the Blackhawks since Feb 2 and I think the Oilers have the advantage here having played a game last night. They will be warmed up and I expect the Oilers to come out fast and take the lead early in this game. I think Chicago will be a bit slow and sluggish to start after that layoff and I expect the Oilers to capitalize. I like the Oilers puckline here to win this game by -1.5 goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Oilers. | |||||||
02-09-22 | Lehigh v. Colgate -12.5 | 62-78 | Win | 100 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colgate. I like Colgate to cover the spread against Lehigh in this game on Wednesday. Colgate has looked really good in their games lately and I think they will continue to play that way in this game. They have won 4 games in a row now and all of those wins were by 10+ points. Their most recent win was actually by 20+ points at home and I expect them to the same here since they have won their previous 5 home games by 10+ points. They have also put up 80+ points in 3 games in a row now and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year. They have only lost 1 game at home all year and they have been dominant in their conference play too winning 8/10 games this year. They did have 1 of those losses come against Lehigh earlier in the year though. Colgate lost to Lehigh on the road by 4 points, 85-81, but Colgate has looked much better lately and I think this will be a huge revenge spot for them on their home court here. Colgate is a better home team, they scored 80+ points on the road against Lehigh in their previous meeting and I think they will do the same on their home court here but i also think their defense will be a lot better and I don't expect Lehigh to score as many points as they did last time. Lehigh is below .500 over their previous 5 games and both of the games they played on the road during that time were losses. Lehigh has been terrible in road games this year going 3-9 and I don't see them putting up much of a fight here when they just lost in their most recent game and on their own home court. I like Colgate to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-61 Colgate. | |||||||
02-08-22 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State -4 | 70-62 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Tuesday. Michigan State just lost their most recent game on the road to Rutgers and they were embarrassed in that game losing by 20+ points. They had won 2 games in a row before that loss though and I think they are due for a bounce back here on their home court. Michigan State has looked really good in most of their games lately, their 2 most recent losses both came in road games but they have looked much better on their home court. I think they will play a lot better here at home and I expect them to take out some anger on Wisconsin here from MSU's terrible loss in their previous game. Michigan State has already beaten Wisconsin earlier this year by 10+ points and that was a road game for them so i think they will have an even easier time imposing their will on them in this game on their own home floor. Wisconsin just won their most recent game but they won at home by 2 points over Penn State and that is not exactly an impressive win considering Penn State is in the lower half of the standing in the Big 10. They even lost their game before that win over Penn State, losing by 10+ points on the road to Illinois and they did not look good in that game as they really fell apart in the 2nd half. This is a huge game for Michigan State because they are in 4th place in the conference currently but a win puts them level with Wisconsin who are in 3rd place just the 1 game above them. Michigan State already won the 1st meeting this year on the road by 10+ points and I think they can do it again here and they should play even better than last time being on their home court for the game. I like Michigan State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-74 Michigan State. | |||||||
02-07-22 | Kansas v. Texas +1 | 76-79 | Win | 100 | 15 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas. I like Texas to cover the spread against Kansas in this game on Monday. Texas just won their most recent game by 20+ points over Iowa State. They have had a very tough schedule lately though and they have had to face 3 ranked teams in a row. They won 2/3 of those games and the only game that they lost during that time was the game on the road. They have looked very good on their home court this year and they only have the 1 loss all year. I think Texas can escape with a huge win over Kansas here. Kansas has had an even tougher schedule than Texas has lately, Kansas has had to play 4 different ranked teams in a row and these teams are ranked much higher than the teams Texas faced. Kansas won 3/4 of those games but they just destroyed Baylor by 20+ points in their most recent game. I think that playing all of these tough opposing teams is going to start to take a toll on Kansas since they would've had to exhaust a lot of energy to win even 3 of those games. Now they have to travel to Texas for this game and go beat a team that has only lost 1 time in 15 home games this year. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-71 Texas. | |||||||
02-06-22 | Pelicans v. Rockets +5.5 | 120-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Rockets. I like the Houston Rockets to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Sunday. The Rockets have won 1/6 games in their previous 6 but I think they have a chance to upset the Pelicans here. The Rockets won their most recent home game over the Cavaliers who are having a very good year and they won that game by 10+ points. I think they can keep that energy up on their home floor and they about to face a team that has been 1 of the worst teams in the league this year so to the Rockets, they are on an even playing field in this game since the Pelicans haven't been great. The Rockets also lost their most recent game too, they were on the road but they lost to a Texas rival team and by a lot of points. They lost on the road to the Spurs by 20+ points and the Spurs have been terrible this year too. There is no way that they are sitting on that loss happily, especially with the margin they lost by, and I expect the Rockets to give a much better effort here to make up for that terrible performance against another bad team. I think they are going to be angry here and I expect them to take that loss out on the Pelicans here on their home court with the mindset that they need to beat up on a bad team now. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row but those wins were against the Pistons who are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year too, and the other was against the Nuggets as the Pelicans caught them in the middle of a slump. The Pelicans had actually lost 4 games in a row before those 2 wins and I don't see why they won't just revert to that in this game. I think the Rockets can win this game outright. I like the Rockets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 121-117 Rockets. | |||||||
02-06-22 | Hawks v. Mavs -2 | 94-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Atlanta Hawks in this game on Sunday. The Mavericks have looked a lot better in their games lately, just a few weeks ago they were barely scraping the .500 mark but now they are 7 games above .500 and are in good position to get a playoff spot if they continue to surge in the 2nd half of the year now. They have stepped up their play at home too and i think they can do enough to win this game on their home court comfortably. Luka Doncic has been great lately putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row and I expect that to continue here as he carries his team to another huge home win. The Hawks have not been having a great year, they have the players on their team to succeed but they are still below .500 now going into the 2nd half of the year and they need to start winning some games to dig themselves out of the hole they are in. The Hawks have not played their best basketball in road games this year and I think they are going to have a tough time going into Dallas and coming out with a win. The Hawks only have 1 win in their previous 3 games and they have been even worse in road games winning 1 of their previous 5 road games. I think the Mavericks have been playing better than the Hawks lately and I think the Mavs have the momentum with them here. The Hawks have been very up and down all year while the Mavericks have at least started to show some consistency in their play lately and have been winning games like the playoff team they are supposed to be. I think the Mavericks will continue to surge here on their home court and win more games. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 116-107 Mavericks. | |||||||
02-06-22 | Houston v. Cincinnati +6.5 | 80-58 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against Houston in this game on Sunday. Cincinnati has won 4 of their previous 5 games but they have looked a lot better on their home court this year and I think they will give Houston a very good challenge in this game. Cincinnati has won 3 games in a row on their home court and they have looked really good in a lot of their home games this year. They have only lost 2/13 home games this year and most of their wins at home have been by 10+ points. I think Cincinnati will get up for this game since they have a bit of a rivalry with Houston and I expect them to play them hard here. Houston has won 11 games in a row but they have had a very weak schedule during that time. Most of their games in conference play have been blowouts but they have also not faced any really tough teams and have been feeding on the bottom teams of this conference lately. I think Cincinnati is going to put up a good fight on their home court here and this will probably be the toughest team Houston has played in a while. Houston has even played some of their games in their conference play really close and their schedule has been weak since playing against other ranked teams in non-conference games. I think Cincinnati has their eyes set on upsetting Houston here and handing them their 1st conference loss and I expect them to be highly motivated to win here. I expect Cincinnati to at least keep this game close and give Houston a good score. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 68-66 Houston. | |||||||
02-06-22 | Providence v. Georgetown +6.5 | 71-52 | Loss | -104 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgetown. I like Georgetown to cover the spread against Providence in this game on Sunday. Georgetown has lost 10 games in a row now but I think it is time for them to stop the bleeding here. They are the only team in the Big East that doesn't have a win in conference play yet but they have looked a lot better in their previous 3 games and I think they can keep this game closer on their home court here. They just lost to St. John's by 10+ points but their 2 games in a row before that were losses within 10 points. If Georgetown has any chance to break out of their funk and finally win a game in conference play then I think their best shot would be on their home court here. Patrick Ewing is also on the hot seat so he will be pushing his players to perform better here and get a win. Providence has won 6 games in a row but I think that run is nearing an end in their upcoming games. Their previous 3 games have all been very close winning the game within 5 points and I think it is only a matter of time until they start making some big mistakes which ends up costing them a game. Providence did get a win at home over Georgetown on this 6 game run that they're on but that win was only by 8 points and I think Georgetown will play much better looking to break out of their funk and get their revenge on Providence for their previous meeting at the same time. I expect Providence to start slowing down on their run and I also expect Georgetown to win a game soon since it's just not practical for them to lose every game in conference play. I like Georgetown to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-74 Providence. | |||||||
02-05-22 | Kentucky v. Alabama -1.5 | 66-55 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Kentucky in this game on Saturday. Alabama just lost their most recent game by 19 points on the road to Auburn but Auburn just keeps showing us why they really are the best team in the country this year. I think Alabama is due to bounce back in this game after that very poor performance but they still managed to put up 81 points in that game so I have faith that their offense will put up the points needed to win here on their home court. Alabama has been very good on their home court this year only losing 1 of their 11 games there. They have also been really good against ranked teams this year going 5-2 against ranked teams and both of those losses were to Auburn. Kentucky is a top 5 team and Alabama has plenty of experience taking down teams of that quality this year. I think this is a game that the Alabama player will definitely get up for and I expect them to extremely motivated to win this game on their home court. Kentucky has looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against SEC teams that are not very good in the conference. I think Kentucky is going to have a tough time against Alabama in this game and I think Alabama will outscore them with their offense which has been putting up a lot of points lately. Kentucky also has a .500 record on the road this year and I think that Alabama will get the best of them here on their home court. I like Alabama to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Alabama. | |||||||
02-05-22 | Duke -2.5 v. North Carolina | 87-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread against North Carolina in this game on Saturday. Duke has won 4 games in a row now and I expect them to extend that to 5 games after this. They have been struggling to get by a few of the opposing teams they have played lately but they just got a big win on the road by 10+ points and I think they can build off that win in this game. Their defense has looked a lot better lately and they haven't let an opposing team put up 70+ points on them in 4 games in a row. Their most recent game they won on the road by 10+ points and they only gave up 43 points in that game. Duke is finally back on top of the ACC and I think they will be extremely motivated to keep their position now that they have it. Duke is trying to send off coach K with a very nice final season coaching and the best way to accomplish that is to win their conference and a national title. I think Duke is going to be motivated to keep surging in their upcoming games and the year is winding down quickly. I think Duke is going to start making a big push now and a win against UNC here would be huge for them since UNC has started to look really good lately and now hold the 2nd place spot in the conference but a win here can tie them with Duke for an 8-3 record in conference play. I don't think Duke is going to allow that to happen and I expect them to get up against their rival school here for a huge win that keeps them on pace to win the conference. UNC has won 4 games in a row but they have not looked that good on defense lately. Their previous 2 games they gave up 80+ points to the opposing team and they weren't even playing anyone that good in the conference. I think defense is going to be key in this game and I expect Duke to play much better on defense since they have been lately and I expect them to get this win. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 79-69 Duke. | |||||||
02-04-22 | Celtics -8 v. Pistons | 102-93 | Win | 100 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Friday. The Celtics have won 3 games in a row now and they have 1 loss in their previous 6 games. They have won 4/5 of those games during that time by double digits and I think they will do the same in this game. The Celtics are only in 9th place in the East but they have been winning a lot more games lately and have been surging to try and get themselves in better position as we roll into the 2nd half of the year. I think the Celtics are getting better as the year goes on and now that they have been at full strength for a while I think this will help them start to go on big runs and win even more games to get into better playoff contention. The Pistons are 1 of the worst teams in the NBA and they have lost 2 games in a row. Both of those losses were by 10+ points too. They have also lost 6/7 games in their previous 7 and most of those losses were by 10+ points too. The Pistons have been bad all year, they have looked a lot better on their home court than on the road but they still have more than twice as many losses at home than they have wins. The Pistons are also on a B2B game here and they just played a high scoring and fast paced game against the Timberwolves where they had to score a lot of points to keep up. I think they will be a bit tired from that game and come out slower here. I expect the Celtics to take advantage of them in this spot and jump out to an early lead. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 121-107 Celtics. | |||||||
02-04-22 | Green Bay v. Cleveland State -12.5 | 69-85 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland State. I like Cleveland State to cover the spread against Wisconsin-Green Bay in this game on Friday. Cleveland State has been having a great year and they have looked really good in most of their games this year, even in a few of their losses too. They just lost their most recent game on the road to Northern Kentucky but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. That loss knocked them out of the 1st place spot in their conference and I think they will be looking to get back on track and bounce back with another conference win here. They had won 4 games in a row before losing that previous game. They have also looked a lot better on their home court this year and I think this is a great spot for them to get back on track since they have been winning a lot of their games by close scored lately. They get a break with Green Bay here who is 1 of the worst teams in the conference and they have lost 3 games in a row now. Green Bay has also looked terrible on the road this year and have lost all 8 of their road games played this year. I think Cleveland State is going to take advantage of them on their own home court here and I'm expecting a blowout from them here. Cleveland State is the better team and they have looked a lot better in all of their games this year. Cleveland State has also been great on their home court while Green Bay struggles on the road with no road wins this year and I don't see that even coming close to changing in this game. I like Cleveland State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 78-58 Cleveland State. | |||||||
02-03-22 | UCLA +7 v. Arizona | Top | 66-76 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA. I like UCLA to cover the spread against Arizona in this game on Thursday. UCLA has looked great in a lot of their games this year and they have worked their way back into the 3rd ranked spot in the country. They have been through a lot this year with covid cases and postponed games but they still have a 16-2 record and are clearly 1 of the better teams in the country this year. I think this team is very resilient with what they have gone through while still maintaining a top spot and they have also looked great in their road games this year winning all 5 that they have played in. UCLA has won 6 games in a row and they even have a win over Arizona during that run, beating them at home by 16 points just over a week ago. Arizona didn't put up much of a fight in that game since they were trailing right from the start and I don't think anything is going to change here on their home court. UCLA's coach Cronin has prepared his team well for big road games and hostile environments and I expect UCLA to go in there and still win this game. Arizona has bounced back since losing to UCLA but they have only played the 1 game since then and that game was on Saturday. I think they will come out a bit slow and sluggish here due to the longer layoff between games and I think UCLA can take advantage of them early in this game again. Arizona has been winning a lot of their games lately by 15+ points but they also haven't been playing any tough opposing teams. UCLA has had a lot of experience going into hostile environments and playing against other ranked opposing teams so I think they are better prepared for this game and I expect them to keep it close if they don't win this game themselves. I like UCLA to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 UCLA. | |||||||
02-03-22 | Western Kentucky -1.5 v. Charlotte | 78-59 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread against Charlotte in this game on Thursday. Western Kentucky has lost 5 games in a row now and I think this is the perfect spot for them to bounce back and get a win here, their 1st road win of the year too. Western Kentucky is 0-5 in road games this year and 2-6 in their conference play but they have had a very tough schedule lately compared to the schedule that Charlotte has had to play. Western Kentucky has lost 5 games in a row but 4 of those losses were to the top 2 teams from each division of this conference. They have a much easier schedule after this stretch and I expect them to start picking up a lot of wins now starting with this game. Charlotte has played some bottom half teams of the conference in their previous 3 games and they even lost their most recent game to Old Dominion by 16 points on the road after just barely beating them at home by 4 points in their game before that one. Before this stretch of bad quality teams, they had played a team from the top 2 in each division of their conference and they were destroyed by 30+ points in one of those games while losing the other by 10+ points but only put up 51 points in the game. I think Western Kentucky is the better team here and I think their record has been a bit off this year due to their tougher schedule lately in their conference play. I think they will start to look a lot better moving forward and I expect them to start winning a lot of games in this next stretch with the teams that are up next for them. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 78-72 Western Kentucky. | |||||||
02-02-22 | Thunder v. Mavs -11.5 | Top | 120-114 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder in this game on Wednesday. The Mavericks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been winning a lot, working their way up the standing to the 5th place spot in the West. I think now that the Mavericks have gained their footing a bit this year and have started to win a lot of games and go on big runs, I expect them to keep that up and keep winning games to get a good playoff position as the 2nd half of the season starts to wind down. They just lost their most recent game to the Magic on the road by 2 points but they were so close to winning that game and they must be a bit upset over it. I think they will still be angry over that loss since the magic are not a very good team this year and I think they will be looking to take their anger out on the Thunder here by beating on them here on their home court. I think they are due to bounce back in this game and the Mavericks have looked really good at home lately anyway winning 8 of their previous 9 home games. The Thunder have been having a terrible year and they are the 2nd worst team in the West. They are coming off a much needed win in their most recent game but that was their 1st win in 8 games as they ended a 7 game losing skid with that win. Even worse. They only have 2 wins in their previous 14 games and they have looked a lot worse on the road than at home this year. OKC is also still missing their best player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and without him they really have no chance to win at all in their games. They have been hurting badly without him in their lineup and I think they are going to continue to struggle without him again in this game. I think the Mavericks have been getting too hot with how well they are playing and I think they can destroy the Thunder on their home court by 15+ points. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 127-104 Mavericks. | |||||||
02-02-22 | Notre Dame +5 v. Miami-FL | 68-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread against Miami in this game on Wednesday. Notre Dame just lost their most recent game to Duke but that ended a string of 4 wins they had put together and I think they can get back to that in this game. Notre Dame has looked really good on the road this year, they have a record above .500 in road games and they have won 4 of their previous 5 road games. They have also been doing much better ever since starting their conference play and they are 7-3 in those games which is not far behind Miami who is 8-2 in conference play. Miami has won 2 games in a row now but I think that run will come to an end here. Both of those wins were against teams in the lower half of the conference and against teams who have been struggling in conference play. Notre Dame hasn't been struggling though, they have been great on the road and in conference play this year and I expect them to put up a good fight here. I think they are due for a bounce back after a very bad performance on their own home court where they only put up a measly 43 points on Duke. I think they will come out stronger in this game and try to take the lead right away. I also think they can put up way more points than they did in their previous game and I expect them to keep this game really close if they don't end up winning it themselves. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-69 Notre Dame. | |||||||
02-01-22 | Heat +2.5 v. Raptors | 106-110 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Toronto Raptors in this game on Tuesday. The Heat have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back here. This losing skid ended a run of 3 wins they had put together and it all started with a loss to the Raptors on their own home court. They lost to them in OT by 4 points just 3 days ago but they were trailing in that whole game. I think they will be out for their revenge here and they should be healthier for this game too. The Raptors have won 2 games in a row but I think that is going to end here. They just got back from a road trip and this is their 1st game back on their home court, I think they will have a bit of a let down here after returning from their road trip with 2/3 wins. They have also been barely getting by in their games lately winning by very slim margins and I think the Heat can get the better of them here motivated by their loss just a few days ago so it still burns fresh in their minds. The Raptors have been very up and down this year and they have gone through cycles of hot and cold. The Heat may be a bit banged up here but they are still 1 of the best teams in the East and i expect their players to step up and get this win against the Raptors who should not even be in the playoffs this year with how they have been playing. I like the Heat to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Heat. | |||||||
02-01-22 | Panthers v. Rangers +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers +1.5. I like the New York Rangers puckline against the Florida Panthers in this game on Tuesday. The Rangers just ended a 2 game losing skid with a win in their most recent game but they have been playing some good hockey lately and i think they can keep this a close game with the Panthers here. The Rangers have looked really good on home ice this year and they have played some of their best hockey in their own building this year. They have won 5/6 home games in their L6. They have also won 6 home games in their previous 9 and the 3 games that they lost were all by 1 goal. Even when they lose on home ice they keep the game close and I think they will do the same here, both of these teams have been great all year and I think the Rangers could even win this game. The Panthers have won 4 games in a row now but I think that run is going to end here. They are playing a B2B game here on the road and they just scored 8 goals the night before but also gave up 4 goals to the Blue Jackets who have not looked great this year. The Panthers have actually given up 4 goals in both of their previous 2 games and I think they are going to struggle to keep the Rangers out of the net here on their home ice. I also think they are due for a bit of a let down after scoring 8 goals the night before and I think the Rangers can take advantage of them here. The Rangers have a good chance of taking this win on home ice here so I like the Rangers on the puckline +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Rangers. | |||||||
02-01-22 | Kansas -4.5 v. Iowa State | 70-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Iowa State in this game on Tuesday. Kansas just had their 5 game win streak ended when they lost in their most recent game to Kentucky by almost 20 points on their own home court. They were dominated on the floor in that game and I think they are going to be due for a bounce back after that bad loss. Luckily, that loss to Kentucky wasn't in their conference play so they are still on course to winning the Big 12 but it did hurt their rank as they were much higher than Kentucky was and I think that Kansas will be focused on a good bounce back game here on the road. Iowa State doesn't have a lot of offense either and that works well with how Kansas likes to play their game. I expect Kansas to keep Iowa State off the board with good defense here and I think they will have plenty of opportunities to extend their lead in this game. Iowa State has won 2 games in a row but both of their opposing teams in those games were not very good and they have struggled a lot in their conference play this year, losing 4/5 games before winning these previous 2. I think Iowa State is going to continue their troubles in their conference play and I think they will have a lot of trouble with a high ranked Kansas team here. I expect Kansas to respond to that loss with a big win here and get back on track. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 69-61 Kansas. | |||||||
01-31-22 | Colorado State v. Wyoming +1 | 78-84 | Win | 100 | 15 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming. I like Wyoming to cover the spread against Colorado State in this game on Monday. Wyoming has been looking good in their games lately and they have won 7/8 games in their previous 8. They have only lost 1 of their games in conference play this year and they have been a perfect 8-0 on their home court too. Wyoming has been grinding out a lot of their wins lately, they have won 2 of their previous 3 games, winning both of those by 2 points, but they have shown more than a few times this year that they can grind out the close games and come away with the wins. Wyoming has played in 7 games this year that have been decided by 5 points or less and Wyoming is 5-2 in those games, they are a 1 point favorite here so if the game comes down to the final play then Wyoming has had plenty of experience winning these types of tight games. I think Wyoming can take a lead and keep it in this game though and I'm expecting them to get another big conference win on their home court here. Colorado State has been having a great year with only 2 losses but both of those losses came in their conference play. They just lost their most recent game to UNLV and they were embarrassed by them on their own court losing by 10+ points. They have also won 2 games in a row on the road but they have been playing weak teams, beating up on San Jose State and Air Force in those games. I think they are going to have a tougher challenge on the road in Wyoming here since Wyoming has been a very good home team this year and has looked good in their conference play too. I think Wyoming will be able to keep up with Colorado State on offense and I actually expect Wyoming to outscore them in this game. I like Wyoming to cover the spread here winning this game. T.M. Prediction: 81-75 Wyoming. | |||||||
01-30-22 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 79 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Sunday. The 49ers have been a very resilient group in these playoffs so far. They came in as a Wild Card team and dominated the Cowboys in the Wild Card game, then they went into Green bay and took out the number 1 seed with a banged up QB playing in very cold and bothersome weather but still came out with a win when they the only time they had a lead in that game was when they kicked the winning field goal. I think the 49ers fought very hard at the end of the season just to get here and they continued their gritty play in their 2 playoff games too. I think they have the momentum on their side and will continue to play well making it very tough on the opposing team to beat them. Their defense has looked great lately and I think they are going to be a key factor in this game. The Rams have also looked a lot better on offense lately but they haven't really played teams that were surging into the playoffs. Their 1st win in these playoffs was against the Cardinals who went 1-5 in their final 6 games of the season and then they kicked out a Buccaneers team that was losing steam fast as they were nearing the finish line, struggling to beat the Jets in their last game of the regular season and then missing a lot of offensive weapons too making it hard to compete with what the Rams had. The Rams defense has the pieces there to perform well too but time and time again during the season we saw them underperform and even in the last round of the playoffs they had a huge lead and somehow let the Bucs make a comeback and tie it 27-27 which never should have happened. I think the 49ers have been through a lot and will be very tough to stop here with that great defense backing them up playing the way they are at the moment. The 49ers were also 2-0 vs the Rams this year and they are 6-0 against them over the past 3 seasons. The 49ers clearly have the Rams number and nothing they see should be new to them from playing in the same division and seeing them twice a year. The 49ers are 1 team that McVay just can't beat and I think they have a good chance to pull off another upset over the Rams here. I like the 49ers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 49ers. | |||||||
01-30-22 | Bengals +7 v. Chiefs | 27-24 | Win | 102 | 75 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs in this game on Sunday. The Bengals have looked really good with Joe Burrow leading the way for them, they have won their 1st playoff game in 30+ years and they got their 1st ever road playoff win when they knocked out the number 1 seed last week. I think the Bengals have a lot of momentum on their side and the pressure is off of them since the Chiefs are the more established team that has been here many times before over the last few years. The Bengals have the right mindset ahead of this game too, they are not getting cocky or looking ahead to the Super Bowl but in their eyes they still have a lot of work to put in and I think that mentality is going to help them on this big stage. Joe Burrow has won a National Championship in college so he is no stranger to the big stage either and I think he is going to have his competitive drive really come out here to try and take down Patrick Mahomes and the big bad Chiefs. He has already shown that he can beat them since he did beat them earlier in the regular season 34-31 and they were even losing by 11 points at halftime but their defense stepped up in that game and held the Chiefs to 3 points in that 2nd half so they could complete their comeback. The Bengals have already done it once this year and I know they can pull off the upset again over the Chiefs. They may not do it again here but I definitely don't think they are going to get blown out in this game and I expect them to keep this game close the whole time and give themselves a chance to take it. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Chiefs. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Canucks +1.5 v. Flames | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Canucks +1.5. I like the Vancouver Canucks puckline against the Calgary Flames in this game on Saturday. The Canucks haven't looked bad in their games lately and even in their losses they have still been playing very well. They just thrashed the Jets on the road in their most recent game winning that one 5-1 and I think they can keep up that momentum going into this game. They had lost 3 games in a row before winning their most recent but they lost 2 of those 3 games by just 1 goal, forcing both of those games past regulation. They have also been playing great defense and their goaltending has been great in their games lately too since they haven't allowed more than 3 goals in 6 games in a row. The Canucks have been playing other Canadian teams very tough this year, they are 5-1 in their L6 against Canadian teams. I think they are going to play tough in this game too and I expect them to give the Flames a good challenge here. The Flames have been a very up and down team all year, winning a lot of their games in spurts, they are really a team that you need to back while they are still red hot and winning games. They were winning a lot of games lately but they have cooled off now and just lost their most recent game to the Blues 5-1. After a bad loss like that I expect the Flames to play much better defense in this game, especially when they haven't given up more than 1 goal in their previous 3 wins in a row. I think the Canucks are going to play hard in this game and even if they can't get the win here, I expect them to keep this game close and force it past regulation again which they have been doing a lot lately. I like the Canucks on the puckline here +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Flames. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Tennessee v. Texas -3.5 | 51-52 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas. I like Texas to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Texas has been looking shaky in a lot of their games lately but their previous 2 games they looked a lot better in and i think they can keep that up and start to go on a roll now. They have won 2 games in a row but looked a lot better in their most recent game. They battled with Oklahoma State for the lead in a lot of that game but they came away with a 5 point win at home, then they went on the road and beat a TCU team who was starting to heat up in their games lately. Texas crushed TCU by 20+ points on the road and they got out to a big lead right away never looking back. i think they can carry that momentum into this home game and get another good start here helping them keep their lead and pull away as the game goes on. Texas has been great on their home court this year, they are 12-1 there and most of their games they have won by 10+ points. I expect this game to be no different since they have been playing a lot better lately. This is also a huge game for Texas since they haven't won against a ranked opposing team this year and this game will be a big test for them because they should win it on their home floor here. Tennessee has looked good too lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those were at home and they are a much different team on the road this year. They have lost 3 of their previous 4 road games and all of those losses were in conference play too. I think Tennessee is going to continue their struggle on the road in conference play and i think Texas can keep their win streak going and add onto it here. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 74-65 Texas. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Virginia Tech v. Florida State -2 | 85-72 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Virginia Tech in this game on Saturday. Florida State has looked a lot better in their games lately and they are starting to look like the ranked team that they were expected to be at the beginning of the year. They were on a roll with 6 wins in a row but they just lost their most recent game and I think they will be hungry to bounce back in this game. Their loss was a bad one losing to Georgia Tech by 14 points and I expect them to play better here. They have been very good on their home court winning 6 home games in a row and they have even knocked off some tough teams in their conference play like Duke and Miami. Virginia Tech has not looked good at all lately and they have lost 3 games in a row. They lost 2 of those games on the road and I think they are going to continue to play worse in their road games this year. They have lost 5 of their previous 6 road games and they have been much worse on the road this year. They have gone 1-4 in their previous 5 road games in conference play and I don't expect them to change that here. They haven't even put up 70+ points in 7 road games in a row, even in the games they have won, and they couldn't even put up 60+ points in some of those games. I think that Virginia Tech's offense and inability to score points on the road this year is going to hurt them in this game and I think it will be even tougher for them to score with Florida State playing great defense lately. I think Florida State is going to have no trouble outscoring Virginia Tech in this game and I expect Florida State to get a bounce back win here. I like Florida State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Florida State. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Xavier v. Creighton +1.5 | 74-64 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton. I like Creighton to cover the spread against the Xavier in this game on Saturday. Creighton had won 2 games in a row before losing in their most recent game. They lost by 15+ points to Butler on the road but they have looked a lot better on their home court this year and I think they can bounce back with a win in this game. Creighton has been good on their home court this year and they have actually won 3 home games in a row, all of those wins coming in conference play. They even won 1 of those home games against Villanova who is very good this year and they won that game by 20 points. Xavier was on a roll but they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they have fallen into a bit of a slump lately. It started with a 1 point win at home to DePaul who has been struggling a lot lately. After that close win they went on the road and lost by 10+ points to Marquette and then suffered another loss on their own home court this time against Providence. Xavier also beat Creighton around 2 weeks ago by 7 points at home and I think Creighton will be looking for their revenge in this game. Xavier was playing very well at the time of that win and Creighton was going through their own mini slump but now the tables have turned and it is Xavier who is starting to slump a bit while Creighton begins to surge winning more games lately. I think Creighton will continue their surge in this game and come out strong from the start seeking their revenge from 2 weeks ago. I am expecting a good and hard effort from Creighton here and I think they can take advantage of Xavier here who hasn't been at their best lately. I like Creighton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 Creighton. | |||||||
01-28-22 | Niagara v. Siena +1.5 | 56-60 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Siena. I like Siena to cover the spread against Niagara in this game on Friday. Siena has lost 2 games in a row and I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have played 3 road games in a row and I think they will come home and play much better on their home court here. They won the last game they were at home for and I expect them to get the win over Niagara on their own floor here since Niagara has struggled in conference play this year. Niagara has lost 2 games in a row and I expect them to extend their losing skid into this game too. They were at home for both of those games and couldn't get the win in either game. They even lost to Rider in their most recent game who is the worst team in the conference at the moment, if they couldn't beat them at home then I really think they are going to struggle in this game on the road against a better team. Niagara hasn't been playing good defense lately and they have been giving up 70+ points per game over their previous 4 games. Siena has actually been playing much better defense in their games lately and they are averaging less than 70 points given up per game over their previous 6 games. I think defense is going to be the key factor in winning this game and I like how Siena has been playing lately. I think Siena will force some turnovers in this game and play well enough on defense to take the lead and maintain it for most of the game. I like Siena to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 68-64 Siena. | |||||||
01-26-22 | SMU -6.5 v. South Florida | 74-54 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: SMU. I like SMU to cover the spread against South Florida in this game on Wednesday. SMU has won 3 games in a row now and they have also won 5/6 games in their conference play this year. They won their 2 most recent games on the road and won both of them by 8+ points. They were able to get those road wins against some weaker teams in their conference but South Florida really isn't that much better at 6-11 this year. I think SMU will continue their hot streak into this game and pick up another road win here while covering the spread too. SMU has looked good in their road games this year winning 4/6 road games played. South Florida has not even been that good on their home court this year, they are just 5-4 in home games. They have also struggled heavily in their conference play losing 4/5 games in it. They haven't just been losing games to other conference teams though, they have been getting destroyed in some of these games and I don't think they will keep up in this game against SMU who is on pace to have a shot at the AAC title this year. South Florida has lost 4 games in conference play by 10+ points with the other game they played being a win. They have even played against SMU already and they lost that game by 12 points. SMU was at home for that game but they have already shown to be battle tested on the road this year and I think they can go into South Florida and repeat their result from a few weeks ago. SMU is just a much better team and I think they are going to keep rolling in these games. I like SMU to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 81-67 SMU. | |||||||
01-25-22 | Auburn -13.5 v. Missouri | 55-54 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Auburn. I like Auburn to cover the spread against Missouri in this game on Tuesday. Auburn just took over the 1st ranked spot in the country after continuing their huge run and winning 15 games in a row. I said that this team was the best in the country about a week ago and I still think they are by far the best with the crazy run they have gone on and how they have played in those games lately. They just played the ranked Kentucky in their most recent game and they left them in their dust winning that game by 9 points. Auburn hasn't just been winning games though, they have been winning against very good ranked teams lately and they have been beating up on the really bad ones which is what I expect them to do to against Missouri here who is 1 of the worst teams in the conference. Missouri has not looked terrible in their games lately but they also haven't been playing any great teams. The few great teams they have played against though have won by 10+ points and Missouri was not able to even keep the games close. They lost to Kentucky earlier this year by 25+ points and Auburn is a lot better than Kentucky, Auburn did just beat them by 9 points. Auburn is just too good at the moment and they are not a team that you can bet against since they just keep winning games. They are the best team in the country and they are on the longest active win streak in the country too. I expect them to extend that to 16 games here. I like Auburn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Auburn. | |||||||
01-25-22 | DePaul +16.5 v. Villanova | Top | 43-67 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: DePaul. I like DePaul to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Tuesday. DePaul have really been struggling since the start of January, they have only won 1 game in their previous 8. They have looked better in their games lately though and I think they are going to start turning things around soon and start winning more games breaking out of this funk they are in. Their previous 3 games have been 1 win for them, 1 loss at home by 1 point to Xavier who is having a great year, and a bad loss to Creighton in their most recent game where they lost by 13 points. They were looking much better before that loss to Creighton though and I think they are going to bounce back with a much better performance here. Despite being so bad lately and losing a lot of games, DePaul is not really getting blown out in their losses with a lot of them being by less than 10 points and only 1 of their losses in their previous 8 games was by 16+ points. They have already played Villanova earlier this year and they lost that game at home by 15 points but that was right after they were coming back from a covid break and Villanova caught them when they were at their worst still recovering from the illness. I think they have been playing much better and I expect them to put up more of a fight here and keep this game much closer than their last meeting. Villanova has also looked a lot better in their games since hitting conference play but lately they have not been as strong and I don't see them blowing out DePaul here. Villanova has only won 1 game by this many points in their previous 5 games and most of their conference wins have been closer games by less than 10 points. They just beat Georgetown in their most recent game but struggled to take the lead for a lot of that game and Georgetown has really been struggling against conference teams this year. I think DePaul is going to start turning things around now that they have been playing better and I expect them to keep this game with Villanova close at least. I like DePaul to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-67 Villanova. | |||||||
01-25-22 | Richmond v. Rhode Island -2 | 70-63 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rhode Island. I like Rhode Island to cover the spread against Richmond in this game on Tuesday. Rhode Island has been a very good home team this year only losing 1 of 9 games at home this year. That loss at home came in their most recent game losing by 2 points at home to George Washington and that was an embarrassing loss for them to suffer on their own home court. That loss also ended a 3 game win streak and I think they are going to be angry about the way they lost that game and how close it was considering how bad the team they were playing is. I expect Rhode Island to bounce back in this game and get a big win against Richmond here. Richmond has won 2 games in a row but the teams they have been playing have not been very strong teams. They have played 6 games in a row in conference play and they have won 3 of those games, losing the other 3. The 3 teams that they won against in conference play were all teams that were below .500 with 1 exception, the best team they beat was Fordham at 9-8. The teams they lost to though were all teams with much better record than them, except for 1 team with a losing record that also beat them. I think Rhode Island is going to be hungry to bounce back in this game after that bad loss on their home court and I think Richmond has had a weaker schedule that is going to hit them in the face when Rhode Island comes out and starts dominating from tha start. I like Rhode Island to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 69-61 Rhode Island. | |||||||
01-24-22 | NC-Wilmington v. Northeastern -2.5 | 74-68 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northeastern. I like Northeastern to cover the spread against UNC Wilmington in this game on Monday. Northeastern has lost 8 games in a row and they are the only team in their conference that doesn't have a win in conference play losing all 7 of those games. I think it is time for that bad losing skid to come to an end though and I expect Northeastern to pick up their 1st conference win of the year here. Northeastern is at home for this game and they have a much better chance of covering the spread here as opposed to on the road where they haven't won a game all year yet. UNC Wilmington has won 8 games in a row including all of their games in conference play this year but I think their run is going to come to an end here. Their 2 previous wins have been very close, both by within 5 points and this will now be their 4th game in a row playing on the road. I think they are going to be tired from all the road games they have had to play in a row and all of that travelling they have had to endure along with their regular school work. This will be Northeastern's 4th game in a row on their home court and they have that comfort factor of being at home for so long and not having to travel anywhere. UNC Wilmington has been putting up a great run but I think it's nearing the end and they have not been winning games convincingly lately. I like Northeastern to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-71 Northeastern. | |||||||
01-23-22 | Nets +2.5 v. Wolves | 125-136 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Nets have a better road record than home record this year and they are better off in their road games now compared to their home games since Kevin Durant is out with injury. At least in road games Kyrie Irving is eligible to play for them which helps them out a lot. The Nets have won 2 games in a row and they have also won 3 of their previous 4 road games. The T-wolves haven't been lights out on their home court this year and they are below .500 at the moment while the Nets are the best team in the East. I think the Nets are going to play hard in this game to get the win. They know they have a better chance of winning road games in their current situation and I expect Kyrie to carry a big part of the load in their games. He has looked really good in the games he has played in and he looks like he is getting better and better in each game. I think the more he plays and gets back into it he will be even better and will be able to carry the team in their road games and help keep them at the top of the East until Durant comes back. The T-wolves have won 2 home games in a row but 1 was against the Warriors who were missing almost all of their starters and they best the thunder who are one of the worst teams in the league this year. I think the Nets are going to show the T-wolves why they are the best in the East and get a big road win here. I think Kyrie steps up in this game and does whatever he can to keep this team at the top by winning all of their road games. I like the Nets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-108 Nets. | |||||||
01-23-22 | Michigan v. Indiana -3.5 | 80-62 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana. I like Indiana to cover the spread against Michigan in this game on Sunday. Indian has won 2 games in a row but they have looked good in their conference play lately. They have won 4 of their previous 5 in conference play and they are still undefeated at home this year with their 12-0 record there. They just beat the 4th ranked Purdue in their most recent game and they usually play a lot better on their home court. They have played 2 ranked teams in their previous 3 home games in conference play and they beat 1 of them by 10+ points. Michigan is not having the year they were expected to have and I don't think things are going to change for them anytime soon. They are barely above .500 at 8-7 and they are below .500 in conference play this year. They finally ended a 3 game losing skid in their most recent game with a much needed win over Maryland but that game was on their home court and they are a very different team in road games. They have lost 3 road games in a row and none of them were really that close at all. I think Michigan is going to once again struggle on the road here in another game in their conference play. That win against Maryland was a nice feel good win for them but I don't think that fixes any of their problems this year and Indiana has looked a lot better in their games lately than Michigan has. I think Indiana will pull away on their home court here and I expect them to be leading this game right from the start. I like Indiana to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-65 Indiana. | |||||||
01-22-22 | 49ers +6 v. Packers | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 103 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Green Bay Packers in this game on Saturday. The 49ers have really looked good in their games lately and are rolling hot as they enter this game. They have won 3 games in a row and have taken down the Rams and the Cowboys in their 2 most recent games. They have already shown their resilience when their back's against the wall, coming back from a 17 point deficit in their final game of the regular season to beat the Rams just so they could get in the playoffs. Then in their last game they had a very strong start and jumped out to a big lead in the 1st half, holding it for the rest of the game and going on to win that game too, winning both as underdogs. They have a lot of weapons on their offense and Garoppolo has looked great lately. I think he is going to move their offense well here and I expect their defense to get after Rodgers in this game too. Their defense has looked really good lately and I think they can do enough to slow Rodgers and the Packers offense down here. The Packers will be rested here but I think they will get off to a slower start here and I think the 49ers can capitalize on that opportunity. The 49ers played a very physical game against the Cowboys and I don't think the Packers will be ready right off the bat for what they are going to be in for with the 49ers here. I expect the 49ers to be physical all game and beat up on the Packers slowing the game down and making them more tired. They may not be able to get the best of the Packers here but I think they can do enough to keep this game close and cover the spread. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 49ers. | |||||||
01-22-22 | Bengals +3.5 v. Titans | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 100 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Saturday. I think the Bengals have a great chance at pulling off the upset here in Tennessee. The Bengals didn't get to rest in the 1st round like the Titans did but they have remained in their groove with a nice win over the Raiders to send them home and they were pretty dominant in that game. The score seems close but they were leading the entire game and Burrow looked great leading his offense down the field. Burrow, along with his team, broke the long playoff win drought for the franchise and I expect them to carry that momentum into this game. The Bengals finished their regular season with a loss to the Browns in a game they didn't really try in since it was the final game of the season but their 2 games before that were wins over the Ravens and Chiefs and they put up 30+ points in both of those games. I think the Titans have a good offense but I don't think they are going to be able to keep up with the Bengals here if they start having a great day through the air. The Bengals already have a great RB in Joe Mixon that can get them big runs when they need them and help relieve the pressure off of Burrow. I think Burrow is going to have a lot of time in the pocket to make good decisions and accurate throws and I'm expecting them to come with a fierce hunger for another playoff win after last week's game. The Titans are rested for this game with all of the pieces they have coming back from injury, it might actually go against them having not played the last week. I think the Bengals will be able to get off to a faster start and I expect them to bury the Titans early here, leaving them to play catch up the entire game. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Bengals. | |||||||
01-21-22 | St Bonaventure -5 v. Duquesne | 64-56 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Bonaventure. I like St. Bonaventure to cover the spread against Duquesne in this game on Friday. St. Bonaventure just got destroyed by Dayton in their most recent game, losing it by 18 points but I think they will put up a much better performance here. I think after losing like that they are going to be due to get 1 back here and Duquesne is nowhere near as tough as some of the teams they have had to face in their previous 5 games. St. Bonaventure has 2 wins in their previous 5 but their 3 losses were against UConn, Virginia Tech, and Dayton who are all good teams or at least play in a much stronger conference if you're VT. Duquesne has lost 2 games in a row and their most recent game was a loss at home by 20 points to Dayton. Duquesne is not a good team this year and I don't think they are going to recover after a loss like that as easily as a team like St. Bonaventure would. Duquesne has a record below .500 this year and even their home record sits below .500 too. They are used to losing games by large amounts and they have done it to worse teams this year. I think St. Bonaventure is due for a bounce back here and they should have no trouble adding to their lead in this game. They are the better team that has been stumbling lately due to a tougher schedule but now they have a few weaker teams coming up and I think they are going to take advantage of this opportunity to get some easy conference wins. I like St. Bonaventure to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 79-69 St. Bonaventure. | |||||||
01-20-22 | North Dakota v. Oral Roberts -20 | Top | 76-80 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread against North Dakota in this game on Thursday. Oral Roberts has won 5 games in a row and 7 of their previous 8 games. They have looked really good at home this year winning 7/8 games played on their home court. They have also looked good in their conference play winning 6/7 of those games. Oral Roberts have played 3 games in a row on the road and finally get to play on their home court again for this game. The last time they played on their home court they beat Omaha by 45 points and I think this is another blow out win for them in the making. Omaha has a lot of similarities with North Dakota here. They both haven't won a game on the road this year and they are the 2 worst teams in this conference, Omaha at 3-16 this year and North Dakota at 4-14. Oral Roberts destroyed Omaha on their home court in their most recent home game and North Dakota is just as bad as them this year, I think this is going to be another 30+ point win for Oral Roberts over a very bad team here. North Dakota has a better record than Omaha, who has the worst record in the conference, yet they still lost to Omaha on the road by 16 points earlier this year. North Dakota has lost 6 games in a row and I don't see them making this game a close one either if they can't even keep up with Omaha in a game. Not only have they not won a game on the road yet after playing 8 road games this year, but they haven't won a game in their conference play either going 0-5 to start their conference play. This year is a big write off for North Dakota as there is nothing to salvage here and they are just a bad team that is going nowhere this year. Oral Roberts is in contention for their conference though and they only have 1 loss in conference play. They have a 12-6 record and a real chance to win this conference if South Dakota State start to slip up. I don't think this game is going to be close in any way. Oral Roberts has been the much better team this year and they will blow them out on their home court here. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 96-61 Oral Roberts. | |||||||
01-20-22 | Pelicans v. Knicks -3.5 | 102-91 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back here at home. They didn't look good in their loss to the Hornets but they played a lot better in the 2nd half of that game. Same with their most recent game, they were losing big in the 1st half but then came back in the 2nd half taking the lead late in the game but they found a way to blow that lead and end up losing by 2 points to the Timberwolves. Again, they looked a lot better in the 2nd half of that game compared to the 1st half. I think after 2 games in a row of losing like that on their home court, I expect them to make some adjustments here and come out with a much stronger 1st half and defensive effort. The Knicks are still very well in the mix for the playoffs and I expect them to start stepping up in their games soon to play better. The Knicks are just below .500 but they are a much better team than the Pelicans are and these are the types of games they should be winning on their home court. The Pelicans have also lost 2 games in a row now but I expect them to continue on their losing skid after this game. Both of those losses came in road games and they were both lost by 10+ points. The Pelicans have actually lost 5 games in a row on the road and most of losses have been by 10+ points. The Pelicans have almost 3x the number of losses as wins on the road this year and I expect them to add another game to the loss column here. I like the Knicks to bounce back in this game and cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 109-101 Knicks. | |||||||
01-20-22 | North Florida v. Florida State -21.5 | 73-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against the North Florida in this game on Thursday. Florida State didn't have the best start at the beginning of the year but they have started to roll lately winning 4 straight games and have looked really good in their conference play. This game won't be part of their conference play and I think Florida State is going to be getting a nice break with North Florida here. Florida State has had a very tough schedule lately. In their previous 3 games, they beat Miami and just beat Duke in their most recent game who are both easily the 2 best teams in this conference. Florida State has looked a lot better lately though and I think after a tough game against Duke where they barely escaped with a 1 point win, they should have a much easier time taking a big lead in this game. I think Florida State is going to dominate North Florida here and even though they are much better and play in a tougher conference, I don't expect Florida State to take this game lightly with it being a State rivalry game. I also think Florida State is going to want to keep up their great play and continue their momentum back into conference play with a huge blowout win here. Not only does North Florida play in a much weaker conference, but they are the worst team in that conference. They have the worst record in their conference and they are the only team there that hasn't won a game on the road this year or a game in conference play either. This game isn't in their conference play but if they are failing to keep up with teams in their weaker conference than I don't think they stand a chance to keep this game close at all. I like Florida State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 87-56 Florida State. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Pacers v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Wednesday. The Lakers just won their most recent game and that ended a 3 game losing skid they were on. Their win came at home and they found a way to grind out a 6 point win over the Jazz who had all of their starters playing in that game. They have had a really tough schedule lately and i think they are going to have a much easier time in this game pulling away with a lead and maintaining it. They just won over the Jazz who are 1 of the best teams in the league and 2 of their previous 3 losses were against the Nuggets and Grizzlies who have both become red hot lately. They also lost 2 of those games on the road and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year than on the road. Not only do they have a better home record but, they have won 5 of their previous 6 home games with that 1 loss coming against the Grizzlies who just came off a massive double digit win streak. I think the Lakers are going to get a bit of a break in this game since the Pacers have been terrible this year. Not only do the Pacers have 14 more losses than wins this year but, they have only won 3/20 road games too. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row and I expect them to continue their losing skid after this game. They have 1 win in their previous 11 games and they have lost 8 games in a row on the road now. Their last road win actually came back in November of 2021 and I really don't think they are going to end that road win drought here. The Lakers have also been getting healthier lately and they should have some more bench depth for this game. We are already more than halfway through the season and the Lakers have really underperformed, sitting in a measly 8th spot in the West. They have looked a lot better in games lately though and i think they are going to start getting hot as they get healthier. There are a lot of questions about the Lakers right now but I think LeBron is going to do what he does best here and carry his team to victory while shutting up all the critics. I expect the Lakers to start turning on the jets soon and I think they are going to beat up on a bad Pacers team here. I like the Lakers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-98 Lakers. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Coyotes v. Devils -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Jersey Devils -1.5. I like the New Jersey Devils on the puckline against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Devils have lost 2 games in a row but I like them to bounce back in this game. They lost both of those games on a mini 2 game road trip but are back at home for this game where their last win came. Their last win at home was over the Jackets by 2 goals. The Devils have looked a lot better on home ice this year and I think they are going to beat up on the Coyotes who are the worst team in the West this year. The Coyotes just won their most recent game but that win came at home and they were playing the only team in the NHL that has less points than they do this year, the Canadiens. The Coyotes were shut out in their game before that win over the Habs 5-0 to the Avalanche. The Coyotes have been winning more games lately but a lot of that is due to the fact that they have just played 6/7 games at home over their previous 7 games. Now the Coyotes are starting a 4 game road trip and I think they are going to get off to a slow start after being at home for so long. The Coyotes also have 1 of the worst road record in the league this year with 4 wins and 14 losses on the road. The Coyotes have been a mess since the beginning of the season and their year was doomed when they went on a 10+ game losing streak before winning their 1st game. They have been very up and down in their games, they either win close games thanks to their goalkeeper who is pretty good or they completely get their doors blown off and lose by 4+ goals. I think this is going to be one of those games where the Coyotes get their doors blown off. They are a very weak team on the road and I like how the devils have been playing at home lately. I like the Devils on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Devils. | |||||||
01-19-22 | LSU v. Alabama -3 | 67-70 | Push | 0 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against LSU in this game on Wednesday. Alabama had a great start to the year but they have fallen off the map since then and have had a rough time ever since hitting their conference play. I think they are going to bounce back in this game though and play much better than they have been lately. Alabama has had to play 3 of their previous 4 games, all of them in conference play, on the road and the 1 game at home they had to play Auburn who is 2nd in the country and on a huge win streak at the moment. Alabama really held their own in that game only losing by 4 points on their home floor but I expect them to get the job done here against a weaker opposing team. LSU is still really good but not as good as Auburn is and Alabama almost came up with the win in that game. They have been a really good team on their home court this year winning 7/8 home games played. LSU has been having a great year and they have won 15/17 games this year. Both of their losses came in conference play though and their most recent game was a loss at home to Arkansas who also started to fold once they got into their conference play. Arkansas held LSU to less than 60 points on their own court and that is 2 games in a row now that LSU has scored less than 65 points. I think LSU is going to continue their conference troubles here and lose another game on the road. I think Alabama is going to come out putting up a lot of points looking to get back on track after stumbling lately and I don't think LSU is going to do much on defense to stop Alabama here. I expect a strong performance from them here at home, I like Alabama to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-69 Alabama. | |||||||
01-18-22 | Bowling Green -5.5 v. Northern Illinois | 92-83 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green. I like Bowling Green to cover the spread against Northern Illinois in this game on Tuesday. Bowling Green has lost 2 games in a row but I like them to bounce back in this game. Those 2 losses were both against the 2 best teams in their conference who have 6 total losses between them and 26 wins. Bowling Green has had a much tougher schedule than Northern Illinois has and I think they are just the better team here. Northern Illinois has won 2 games in a row but they have faced teams that are much weaker than the teams Bowling Green has faced and I don't think Northern Illinois is going to be ready for Bowling Green here. Northern Illinois has only scored 70+ points in 1 of their previous 4 games and that has been a common theme for them all year. They don't put up a lot of points in their games and I think Bowling Green is going to outscore them by a lot here. Northern Illinois has given up 70+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games and I don't think they will be able to do anything on defense to slow Bowling Green down. Bowling Green has put up 70+ points in 13 games in a row and they have even put 100+ point in 2 of those games. Lately they have been putting up 80+ points in a lot of their games and I think they are going to do the same here. Bowling Green has had 2 tough teams to face in a row and they will feel like they are getting a break in this game. I expect them to use this opportunity to get back on track with their conference play. I think Bowling Green has a much better offense than Northern Illinois does and I expect that to make a difference here. Bowling Green will outscore them by a lot in this game. I like Bowling Green to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 86-73 Bowling Green. | |||||||
01-18-22 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Ohio State -33 | 37-83 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against IUPUI in this game on Tuesday. Ohio State has looked great on their home court this year, they have won all 8 of their home games. They are getting a break from conference play here with a game against IUPUI and I'm expecting a big blowout in this game. Ohio State has not won a game at home by this many points this year but they have also had a tough schedule so far with a lot of good teams on it. They have beaten a few of these teams on their home court such as Duke and Wisconsin. They have looked really good on their home court in conference play too and I don't think they should have any troubles with IUPUI here. IUPUI has looked terrible in their games this year and they only have 1 win in 15 games played. They just lost their most recent game by 35 points in Milwaukee and that has been a common them for them all year. They have lost all 7 games played on the road this year, most of those losses by 20+ points. They lost by 35 points to Milwaukee and they have been terrible this year with a 6-12 record. If Milwaukee can destroy them on their own home court then I think Ohio State should win this game by even more. Ohio State has a much more hostile environment to play in and it will be a lot tougher for IUPUI on the road in this game. Ohio State is also light years ahead of Milwaukee so this game should be a walk in the park for them. I'm expecting Ohio State to put up a ton of points on them but barely give up any. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 92-45 Ohio State. | |||||||
01-17-22 | Cardinals +4 v. Rams | Top | 11-34 | Loss | -109 | 151 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Monday. The Cardinals were stumbling to the finish line in the 2nd half of the season, they managed to rip a win off the Cowboys 2 weeks ago but they still lost 4 of their 5 final games to the regular season. I think the Cardinals were just trying to make it to this game in the 2nd half of the season, they had lost a lot of players to injury and were playing with a lot of backups in their games in the 2nd half of the year. I think the Cardinals will have a lot of their players coming back for this game and that will help them out significantly. They should be getting Edmunds and Moore back and that will be a big boost to their offense which they will need here. They have already seen the Rams twice this year and blew them out in 1 game in LA but then lost a close game 30-23 in their last meeting in Arizona. The Cardinals have actually been better on the road this year and they finished as the best road team in the league this year, losing just 1 game in 9 on the road. The Rams have struggled at home this year losing 3 of their 8 games there, including their game against the Cardinals earlier in the year. The Rams had won 5 games in a row before losing their final game of the regular season to the 49ers. The Rams offense was putting up a lot of points in those games but Stafford was not playing well himself and he was turning the ball over a lot in those games. Stafford has been averaging 2 interceptions thrown per game over their final 4 games of the season and I think he is going to get himself into trouble in this game. The Cardinals have a good defense and their strength is in their pass rush and pass defense. McVay loves to throw the ball and go for the big plays but Stafford has not looked good and has not been accurate in some games this year and I think he will get into trouble under all that pressure from the Cardinals defense. Kyler Murray has looked good all year for the Cardinals and their offense even looked alright under Colt McCoy. They should be getting some weapons back here and I think Murray will be able to move the ball well and put up points on the Rams in this game. The Cardinals will be able to keep up on offense with the Rams but I think their defense is better and is going to cause some turnovers in this game which will be the deciding factor. Even if the Cardinals don't win here, their defense will keep this game close enough. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Cardinals. | |||||||
01-17-22 | Harvard -1 v. Dartmouth | 60-59 | Push | 0 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Harvard. I like Harvard to cover the spread against Dartmouth in this game on Monday. Harvard has won 4 of their previous 5 games and they just won their most recent game on the road over Columbia. They looked good in that game, winning it by 9 points and putting up 90+ points in the game. Harvard has put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and they have done it in 5 of their previous 6 games. I expect them to put up a lot of points on Dartmouth here since Dartmouth has not looked good in a lot of games this year and they are not the best on their home court either. Dartmouth has just 1 win in 10 games and they haven't looked good in their conference play this year. They just lost their most recent game to Penn by 10 points and they didn't even reach 70 points in that game. Dartmouth doesn't have a strong offense that scores a ton of points and I think that is going to hurt them in this game. Harvard has been putting up a lot of points in their games and I think Dartmouth isn't going to be able to keep up with them. Dartmouth has put up 70+ points in 1/5 games in their L5 and in most of those games they failed to even put up 60+ points. Dartmouth makes up for that with their play on defense but their defense isn't that great or they wouldn't be 4-10 this year. I don't think their defense is going to stop Harvard enough in this game and I expect Harvard to overpower them by putting up a lot of points. I like Harvard to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-63 Harvard. | |||||||
01-17-22 | Indiana -8.5 v. Nebraska | 78-71 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana. I like Indiana to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Monday. Indiana just lost their most recent game and that ended a run of 2 wins they had strung together. They lost on the road to a good Iowa team by 9 points and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. Indiana is still looking for their 1st road win of the year and I expect them to get it here in a blowout fashion. Before their loss, Indiana had beaten Minnesota by 13 points and Ohio State by 16 points. Now they have Nebraska on their schedule and they are the worst team in the conference this year. Indiana has looked good in conference play lately and I expect them to continue that with a slaughter of Nebraska in this game. Indiana is still looking for their 1st road win but Nebraska is still looking for their 1st win in conference play and they have looked terrible this year in most of their games. They have lost 5 games in a row, all of them to conference teams, and their previous 4 losses in a row were all by 10+ points. They just got smacked by Purdue in their most recent game by almost 30 points and their most recent road game was a loss to Rutgers who is not even that great this year, and again they lost by almost 30 points. Indiana has actually looked good lately and they have some good wins to build off going forward. Nebraska is just an absolute mess and they have been all year. I like Indiana to bounce back in this game and get rolling again by covering the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 87-63 Indiana. | |||||||
01-17-22 | George Mason -5.5 v. George Washington | 76-77 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: George Mason. I like George Mason to cover the spread against George Washington in this game on Monday. George Mason has had a lot of rest and time to prepare for this game. They have only played 1 game between now and December 21st. They had experienced some postponed games after December 21st and did not hit the court again until January 1st. They had to dive right back into the action after 10 days of not playing and they had to face a top 10 team in the country too. That was a road game for them but they looked really good and held their own against Kansas only losing by 9 points. That was their last game played so again, they haven't played a game in over 2 weeks but I think they are going to be fine here. If they were able to come out and play the way they did against Kansas after no games for 10 days then I think they will be good against a much weaker team here. They have had plenty of time to prepare and this is also the start of their conference play this year so I expect them to come out strong in this game. They haven't been terrible on the road this year and they even have a road win over Georgia under their belt this year. George Washington has been playing games lately, their 2 most recent games were on January 8th and 11th and they lost both of those games, 1 at home and 1 on the road. They also lost both of those games by 20+ points and failed to score 60+ points in both games while giving up 80+ in both. I don't think George Washington is going to have the offense to beat George Mason here or cover the spread. George Mason had to play some good defense to keep that game with Kansas close and if George Washington isn't even hitting 60 points in their games lately, then I don't think it's going to happen here for them. I like George Mason to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-59 George Mason. |
