12-31-18 | Northern Colorado v. Portland State +3.5 | Top | 73-60 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I smell a minor upset on Monday night. Northern Colorado comes in at 7-5, but it also enters having lost four of its last five games. The Bears are averaging 74.9 PPG and they’re allowing 76.9. Portland State is just 5-6 and it comes in as the hungrier side after losing three straight. Overall the Vikings are averaging 68.2 points and allowing 78.4. Northern Colorado though is a horrible 1-3 ATS this year already after playing a game as a road favorite, while Portland State is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a home underdog or pick. T.M. Prediction: 85-70 Portland State. | |||||||
12-30-18 | Oakland v. Youngstown State +4 | Top | 76-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Youngstown State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Grizzlies come to town off a satisfying 89-77 road win over Cleveland State, while the Penguins come in off a disappointing 78-66 loss to Detroit on Friday. Note that home floor advantage was crucial between these teams last year, with each winning on its own floor. Oakland averages 78.1 PPG and it allows 80.4. Youngstown State is averaging 75.6 PPG and it’s allowing 81.4. Oakland though is just 14-24 ATS in its last 38 following a conference game, while Youngstown State is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 after having lost eight or more of its last ten games. I think the “hungrier” team gets it done. T.M. Prediction: 85-70 Penguins. | |||||||
12-29-18 | George Mason +15.5 v. Kansas State | Top | 58-59 | Win | 100 | 27 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: George Mason (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The George Mason Patriots come in under the radar here and while I’m not going to call for the outright, I think they can keep this one tight until the final moments. The Patriots have won two straight over Navy and James Madison. K-State comes in complacent vs. its lowly non-conference opponent and after three straight wins itself, most recently a 69-58 victory over Vanderbilt on December 22nd. George Mason averages 73.7 PPG and it allows 72.2, while K-State averages 68.2 points and it allows 57.8. Note though that George Mason is already 3-1 ATS this year following a home victory. I’m grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 73-65 K-State. | |||||||
12-28-18 | James Madison v. William & Mary -7 | Top | 74-79 | Loss | -101 | 26 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: William & Mary (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) It’s the first conference matchup of the year for both teams and I think home floor is a big factor. William & Mary will be hungry here after finishing the non-conference part of its schedule at just 4-8. Note though that the Tribes’ schedule so far ranks 43rd in the KenPom rankings, which is one of the most difficult. The Dukes closed their non-conference schedule with a disastrous 75-48 loss to Fordham and I think they’ll struggle to put points on the board here as well. Note as well that the Dukes are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. teams with a losing SU record, while the Tribe are 8-2 ATS in their last ten after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-60 W&M. | |||||||
12-25-18 | Indiana State +12 v. TCU | Top | 69-83 | Loss | -109 | 27 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indiana State (10* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT) TCU is 10-1, but Indiana State is no slouch at 8-3. I’m not predicting an outright upset, but I think the talented Sycamores can keep this one a lot more competitive than what this spread would suggest. This is the title game in the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. Note that Indiana State leads the nation in three point shooting percentage at 45.5. This is a revenge game as well for Indiana State, who fell to TCU just ten days ago. Note that Indiana State is 7-2 ATS in its last nine revenging a road loss vs. an opponent of ten points or more, while TCU is just 4-5 ATS in its last nine after scoring 80 points or more in four straight games. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-70 Horned Frogs. | |||||||
12-22-18 | CS-Fullerton +19.5 v. Nebraska | Top | 62-86 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: CS Fullerton (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Nebraska is 9-2. Cal State is 3-8. This is the Cornhuskers final non-conference game of the year and I think they’ll look past their non-conference opponent today. Nebraska comes in off a 79-56 win over Oklahoma State. Overall the Huskers are averaging 114.6 points per 100 possessions and allowing 94.3 per 100 possessions. Cal State is averaging 99.2 points per 100 possessions and allowing only 99.7. The Titans issues are clearly on the offensive side of the ball, but their defense has been superb. And now Cal State faces a disinterested home side with a chance to post a quality effort on the national stage. I think this will be much more competitive than what this spread would suggest. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Huskers. | |||||||
12-21-18 | Oakland +25 v. Michigan State | Top | 69-99 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oakland (10* NON-CONF GAME OF MONTH) Outright upset? Of course not. Closer than expected? I definitely think so. Oakland is 5-8 and this is it’s final non-conference game of its schedule. And it couldn’t be a bigger one. Clearly the Grizzlies are going to be “up” for this nationally televised contest. Conversely, the 9-2 Spartans are going to get caught “looking past” their lowly opponent in my opinion. Oakland is 11-5 ATS in its last 16 as an underdog, while MSU is 0-3 ATS in its last three home games as a favorite in the 24.5 to 30 points range. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-73 MSU. | |||||||
12-20-18 | Yale v. Monmouth +10.5 | Top | 66-58 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Monmouth (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Yale is 5-3, while Monmouth is 0-11. The Hawks come in hungry to get off the schneid and while the outright win is likely out of the question, I think the “hungrier” team keeps this one a lot more competitive that what this spread would suggest. The Bulldogs come in complacent after winning four of their last five. Monmouth will be desperate to avoid an 0-11 after an 83-63 loss at Albany last time out. Yale is just 1-3 ATS in true road games this year, while Monmouth is already 3-1 ATS this year following a road loss by ten points or more. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-70 Bulldogs. | |||||||
12-19-18 | Virginia v. South Carolina +10.5 | Top | 69-52 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: South Carolina (10* TRADE-MARK) Virginia is 9-0 and South Carolina is 4-5. I think the Cavs get caught looking past their opponent this evening. Virginia enters off a 57-49 home win over VCU, while South Carolina comes in off a hard-fought 89-78 loss to Michigan on December 8th. Virginia averages 72.8 PPG and it allows 51.2. South Carolina averages 74.7 PPG and it allows 72.4. Clearly the Cavs are the better team on paper, I simply feel that the overall situation favors the home side. The Gamecocks are the hungrier home side, desperate for a win, while Virginia comes in content with its perfect record. Additionally note South Carolina is 4-1 ATS in its last five off road loss of ten points or more. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 67-63 Cavs. | |||||||
12-18-18 | Appalachian State +10 v. Georgetown | Top | 73-83 | Push | 0 | 24 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State (10* MONEY-MAKER) App State comes in off a 76-69 loss to USF on Saturday, while the Hoyas fell 81-73 at home to SMU on the same day in their most recent action. App State averages 85.3 PPG and it allows 79.3. Georgetown averages 78.4 PPG and it allows 74.7. The Mountaineers have already faced some stiff competition this season and I don’t think they’ll be intimidated here at all. The Hoyas area only 2-8 ATS in their last ten following an ATS loss, while App State is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six following an ATS loss. I think App State’s offense keeps the visitors competitive late. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-80 Hoyas. | |||||||
12-17-18 | North Dakota State +11 v. Montana | Top | 53-60 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: North Dakota (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I think this one is more evenly matched than what the oddsmakers would like us to believe. The NDSU Bison come in on top form as they’ve won two straight, most recently getting the better of Missouri State. Vinnie Shahid had 19 points and four boards. Montana is trending in the opposite direction, having lost three of its last four after a poor 60-51 setback to UC Irvine. NDSU is also 3-1 ATS in its last four following a SU home victory, while Montana is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-70 Bears. | |||||||
12-16-18 | Pacific v. CS-Northridge +6 | Top | 79-77 | Win | 100 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: CS Northridge (10* TRADE-MARK) Despite Pacific being 8-4 and CS Northridge being 3-6, clearly the oddsmakers think this is a pretty evenly matched contest. The Pacific Tigers most recently beat LBSU, led by 31 points and five boards from Lafayette Dorsey. CS Northridge has faced some stiff competition in the early going though, most recently falling to San Diego. Lamine Diane was a bright spot in the loss with 19 points and eight boards. The Tigers have not been good in this spot at all for bettors either, going just 9-15 ATS in their last 24 after three straight non-conference games and only 7-10 ATS in their last 17 following a home victory. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 78-77 Pacific. | |||||||
12-15-18 | Gonzaga v. North Carolina -2.5 | Top | 90-103 | Win | 100 | 22 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) A couple of elite teams collide on Saturday night, but I think that Gonzaga suffers a predicable letdown here after its first loss of the year. The Bulldogs are now 9-1 after losing to Tennessee this past weekend. UNC is only 2-2 in its last four, however it enters off a victory over UNC Wilmington, avoiding a potential trap by getting caught looking ahead to this one. The Vols forced Gonzaga to post its lowest point total of the year in last Sunday’s 76-73 loss. The Tar Heels offense though was “firing on all cylinders” in last week’s 97-69 destruction of Wilmington. Additionally note that Gonzaga is just 3-4 ATS in its last seven when playing with five of six days rest, while UNC is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 as a home favorite. T.M. Prediction: 94-80 Tar Heels. | |||||||
12-14-18 | Florida Atlantic v. Arkansas State -1.5 | Top | 71-75 | Win | 100 | 27 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas State (10* MONEY-MAKER) FAU is 7-2 in the early going, while Arkansas State is just 3-6. The Owls most recently held on for a 68-64 win over Mercer on Wednesday. FAU averages 77.8 PPG and it allows 68.4. The Red Wolves average 74.9 PPG and they allow 79.1. I’ll note though that both teams early numbers are skewed due to the level of the competition they’ve faced and I’ll further point out that FAU is just 4-8 ATS in its last 12 after playing a game as a home favorite, while Arkansas State is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a home favorite of three points or less or pick. Play on Arkansas State. T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Red Wolves. | |||||||
12-13-18 | Morehead State +7 v. Samford | Top | 72-77 | Win | 100 | 27 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Morehead State (10* BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR) The Morehead State Eagles comes in as the “hungrier” team sitting at just 3-6. The Samford Bulldogs are 8-2. To this point Morehead State has probably faced the stiffer competition though. Most recently the Eagles fell 76-64 at Marshall on Monday. Jordan Walker has 21 points in the loss. The Bulldogs enter off a relatively simple 77-59 win over Alabama A&M, led by 18 points from Ruben Guerrero. Morehead State won’t be going down without a fight though and it has the depth and scoring talent to match pace. Also note that the Eagles are 9-2-2 ATS in their last 13 on the road. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 78-77 Morehead State. | |||||||
12-12-18 | LSU +5 v. Houston | Top | 76-82 | Loss | -115 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LSU (10* TRADE-MARK) LSU is 7-2, while Houston is 8-0. I’m not predicting an outright upset, but this one has the “feel” of whichever team having its hands on the ball last is going to come out on top in the end. And in a scenario like that, I’m going to grab this healthy amount of points. The Tigers would love to spoiler here and break up the perfect record and bettors will be wise to note that they’re 3-1 ATS in their last four after a blowout win by 30 points or more. Houston on the other hand is just 5-7 ATS in its last 12 after allowing 55 points or less. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-11-18 | Denver +7.5 v. Wyoming | Top | 90-87 | Win | 100 | 29 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Both teams are terrible (identical 3-6 records.) Denver though broke a four-game slide with a 93-63 win over D-2 Western Colorado State last time out and I think it’ll carry that momentum over here. In that game Denver shot 50 percent from the floor and 45 percent from range. Ronnie Harrell Jr. was a stand out with 15 points, ten points and two assists. Wyoming comes in off a win as well, nudging past South Carolina 73-64. Both teams struggle defensively, but note that the Pioneers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five following a SU win. I think the Cowboys get caught looking past their lowly opponent today. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTION COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-10-18 | Morehead State +13 v. Marshall | Top | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 27 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Morehead State (10* GAME OF WEEK) I think Marshall gets caught looking past its lowly non-conference opponent. The Morehead State Eagles are only 3-5 overall this year, including 0-2 SU on the road, however they’ve been competitive by posting a 2-0 ATS record on the road. The Herd have lost three straight and look ripe for the picking, especially with a tough stretch of upcoming road games at Akron, Texas A&M and Virginia. Note as well that Morehead State is 7-3 ATS in its last ten non-conference road games as an underdog of 11.5 points or more. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-09-18 | Montana State +12 v. Washington State | Top | 95-90 | Win | 100 | 26 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Montana State (10* MONEY-MAKER) Am I predicting an outright upset? I am not. But I think the conditions are definitely right for a competitive battle. The Montana State Bobcats are just 2-6, but I think they catch the 5-2 Cougars complacent. Both teams have struggled with offensive consistency this season, so the Bobcats will have their chances in my opinion. Additionally note that the Bobcats are 5-1 ATS in their last six after allowing 75 points or more in five straight games, while WSU is only 2-6 ATS in its last eight after covering five or six of their last seven vs. the spread. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-08-18 | San Diego State v. California +5 | Top | 83-89 | Win | 100 | 31 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: California (10* GAME OF WEEK) SDSU is 5-3 overall, including 1-0 in true road games. It’s been a disappointing start for the Golden Bears to this point at just 2-5, but they’re still a solid 2-1 SU in all home games. Cal beat SDSU 63-62 last year and after back-to-back losses, I think it’ll bounce back here and dip deep. SDSU looks susceptible after its 73-61 outright loss to San Diego as a six point favorite last time out and I expect the hungry Bears to take advantage. Play on Cal. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-07-18 | Oral Roberts +17 v. Missouri | Top | 64-80 | Win | 100 | 26 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts (10* MONEY-MAKER) Missouri is 5-3 and 3-1 at home. I think the home side gets caught predictably “looking past” its lowly none-conference opponent tonight. The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are just 3-8 overall, including 0-5 on the road. Oral Roberts though is 7-2 ATS in its last nine non-conference road games in which it allowed 90 points or more in a loss in its previous game (lost 96-76 to FGCU.) The Tigers on the other hand have a week off before a home game vs. Xavier, making this a “look ahead/trap” spot as well. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-06-18 | Pepperdine v. UC Riverside +5.5 | Top | 71-75 | Win | 100 | 30 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UC Riverside (10* GAME OF MONTH) Pepperdine is 5-3 overall, including 5-1 ATS in its last six ATS, but I think the Waves get push to the test here against the hungry UC Riverside team which is only 2-7 SU, including 3-4 ATS in its seven overall. These teams played last year and this is indeed a revenge game for UC Riverside, which fell 70-59 to Pepperdine last December. The Highlanders have been competitive of late, but just haven’t been able to put it all together. However I’ll point out that UC Riverside is interestingly 9-2 ATS in its last 11 after playing five consecutive games as an underdog, while Pepperdine is just 4-13 ATS in its last 17 off a home loss. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
12-05-18 | Arkansas v. Colorado State +8 | Top | 98-74 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colorado State (10* MONEY-MAKER) I think the Rams are the “hungrier” team in this one and while I’m not calling for the outright, I’m expecting a competitive battle. The Razorbacks are 5-1 and the Rams are 4-4. The level of competition has been low for Arkansas, with a loss to Texas, followed by victories over UC Davis, Indiana, Montana State, TX-Arlington and FIU. The Rams have struggled as well, but note that they’re 8-2 ATS in their last ten following a road loss. Grab the points, but don’t be shocked if there is in fact an upset. T.M. Prediction: 80-75 Colorado State. | |||||||
12-04-18 | Michigan v. Northwestern +6 | Top | 62-60 | Win | 100 | 29 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Michigan is unbeaten, most recently posting a 76-57 home win over Purdue on Saturday. Northwestern comes in as the “hungrier” team after a 68-66 loss on the road to Indiana. The Wolverines average 73.1 PPG and they allow 51.8. The Wildcats average 73.6 PPG and they allow 61.9. Note though that Michigan is a poor 5-7 ATS in its last 12 as a road favorite or pick, while Northwestern is 7-3 ATS in its last ten after a loss by six points or less. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 65-63 Wolverines. | |||||||
12-03-18 | Troy State +21 v. Florida State | Top | 67-83 | Win | 100 | 27 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Troy (10* MONEY-MAKER) The Troy Trojans are 3-4 and the FSU Seminoles are 6-1. I’m not suggesting that you should play this one on the money line obviously, but I do think that the home side comes in a bit complacent here, leaving the back door open for the hungry visitors to sneak in through down the stretch. Four players scored in double figures in the Trojans 79-74 OT loss to Austin Peay this past week. Troy is also 3-1 ATS in its last four as a road dog of 12.5 points or more, while FSU is already just 3-4 ATS this season after a non-conference contest. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 FSU. | |||||||
12-01-18 | Missouri State +12.5 v. Oregon State | Top | 77-101 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Missouri State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) I’m not calling for the outright upset, but I think the 5-1 Oregon State Beavers get caught looking past their lowly non-conference opponent tonight. Missouri State unquestionably comes in as the “hungrier” team here, as after starting the year 3-0, it comes into this one having dropped four straight. The Beavers come in off a much tougher than expected 75-72 win over LBSU last weekend and I think they struggle to contain this determined mid-major on Saturday as well. Note as well that Missouri State is still 12-6 ATS in its last 18 as an underdog. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-28-18 | VCU +3.5 v. Old Dominion | Top | 52-62 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: VCU (10* MONEY-MAKER) VCU enters off a 69-67 OT win over Hofstra on Saturday and I think it can keep this one competitive as well. ODU comes in off a 72-64 victory over Northern Iowa. VCU averages 70.3 PPG and it allows 63.3. ODU averages only 62.8 PPG and it allows 58.3. The Margin for error is very slim for the Monarchs. Note that the Rams are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four following a SU win as well. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 65-60 VCU. | |||||||
11-27-18 | Michigan State -5.5 v. Louisville | Top | 78-82 | Loss | -115 | 28 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Spartans are 5-1 and the Cardinals are 3-2. Louisville jumped out to a 3-0 start, but it comes in with zero momentum after back to back losses in the NIT Tip-Off tournament, falling to Tennessee and Marquette. MSU on the other hand comes in with plenty of momentum after winning the Las Vegas Invitational. The Spartans average 115 points per 100 possessions, while allowing only 92.2. The Cardinals are averaging 110.0 points per 1000 possessions, while allowing 98.9. Louisville though is just 1-3-1 ATS in its last five against teams with winning SU records, while MSU is 4-1 ATS in its last five non-conference contests. T.M. Prediction: 85-70 MSU | |||||||
11-26-18 | Nebraska +3.5 v. Clemson | Top | 68-66 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nebraska (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I think the underdog offers great value to possibly even pull of the outright upset. But in a contest which I see coming down to whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I’m going to grab the points. The Huskers come in off a dominant 73-49 win over Western Illinois, while Clemson enters off a crushing 87-82 loss to Creighton. Nebraska is an amazing 11-3 ATS in its last 14 after allowing 60 points or less, while Clemson is just 4-6 ATS in its last ten after allowing 80 points or more. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Huskers. | |||||||
11-25-18 | Oregon State -7 v. Long Beach State | Top | 75-72 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State (BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Oregon State, while LBSu is just 1-3. Oregon State forward Tres Tinkle posted a double-double in all four games for the Beavers in the Virgin Islands and I think he’ll be difficult for the 49ers to slow down as well. Additionally note that LBSU is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600, while Oregon State is 5-2 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with losing records. T.M. Prediction: 90-55 Oregon State. | |||||||
11-23-18 | Northern Iowa +6.5 v. Old Dominion | Top | 65-72 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Iowa (10* MONEY-MAKER). These teams just played and it was Northern Iowa which won 54-53 on a neutral court last weekend. Overall Northern Iowa has been extremely solid defensively, allowing just 68.2 PPG. In the win over the Monarchs, they’d hold ODU to just 32.8 percent shooting. ODU only has two starters back from last years team which went 25-7. Note that ODU is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 following an ATS loss, while Northern Iowa is 4-1 ATS in its last five following a SU win. T.M. Prediction: 65-60 Northern Iowa. | |||||||
11-21-18 | Virginia v. Middle Tennessee +19 | Top | 74-52 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: MTSU (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Virginia is 3-0, but MTSU is 3-1. This is the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. The Blue Raiders average 85.5 PPG. The Cavs are ranked No. 3 in the country, behind one of the best defensive units. It’s a contrast of styles and while I’m in no way calling for an outright upset, I do think that the overall conditions will make this a more competitive affair than what this line would suggest. Note that Virginia is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 tournament games, while MTSU is 8-6 ATS in its last 14 tourney game and 8-5 ATS in its last 13 as an underdog. T.M. Prediction: 70-62 Cavs. | |||||||
11-19-18 | Iona v. Long Beach State +4 | Top | 85-86 | Win | 100 | 22 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LBSU (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) This game is being played in Las Vegas. LBSU will be the “hungrier” team here after getting blown out in back-to-back contests and a struggling Iona side is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked in my opinion. LBSU is averaging 67 PPG, led by Deishuan Booker with 16 PPG. Iona is averaging 78 PPG, but note that LBSU is a strong 7-2 ATS in its last nine following B2B SU losses. The 49ers have faced the stiffer competition to this point, so the early numbers are skewed. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-75 LBSU. | |||||||
11-16-18 | Towson v. Pepperdine -1.5 | Top | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 26 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pepperdine (10* BLOWOUT) After falling to No. 5 Virginia, Towson bounced back with a 93-66 home win over Division III Wesley College this past weekend. Pepperdine is just 1-2 ATS to open the year, but it’s been competitive even in the setbacks. Note that Towson is 0-4 ATS in its last four non-conference games while Pepperdine is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU victory. T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Pepperdine. | |||||||
11-15-18 | Texas A&M v. Gonzaga -16 | Top | 71-94 | Win | 100 | 30 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga (10* MONEY-MAKER) Texas A&M has one win and one loss, but with tough upcoming games against Minnesota and Washington to continue this tourney, I think the Aggies come up short here against the high-powered Bulldogs. Gonzaga opened with two easy wins and this’ll be its stiffest test yet. But with three nights off before a neutral court affair against Illinois, I like Gonzaga to pull away down the stretch, as I think its experience and depth will prove to be too much for A&M to handle. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-14-18 | Eastern Michigan +22.5 v. Duke | Top | 46-84 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eastern Michigan (10* MONEY-MAKER) I think Duke gets caught looking past the lowly Eagles. EMU is 7-2 ATS in its last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the +21 to +25 points range. Of course I’m not calling for an outright upset, but the conditions are right for a bit of a mental letdown from the heavyweight in this matchup. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-13-18 | Georgia v. Temple -3.5 | Top | 77-81 | Win | 100 | 26 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Temple (10* MONEY-MAKER) Georgia comes in off a 110-76 home win over Savannah State, while Temple smashed Detroit 83-67. Tom Crean’s first game as head coach for Georgia looked great, but clearly the Bulldogs face much stiffer competition tonight. The Owls are in fact 2-0 and I believe they carry that momentum over here. Note that Temple won the rebound battle 38-27 vs. the Titans and also forced Detroit into 19 turnovers. Additionally note that Temple is 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a SU victory, while Georgia is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight following a win. T.M. Prediction: 80-65 Owls. | |||||||
11-12-18 | Buffalo -1.5 v. Southern Illinois | Top | 62-53 | Win | 100 | 27 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* GAME OF WEEK) Buffalo is 2-0 overall and 1-0 ATS on the road, while the Salukis are 0-1 so far. The Bulls victory includes a 99-94 OT win over WVU as an 11-point dog most recently. I think this momentum gets carried over here. Southern Illinois was smashed by Kentucky in its opener 71-59 and I have a hard time seeing the Salukis keeping pace with the faster-paced Bulls. Play on Buffalo. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-11-18 | North Texas -1 v. Hawaii | Top | 68-51 | Win | 100 | 30 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: North Texas (10* MONEY-MAKER) A great situational play here, as Hawaii is in action on Saturday night. UNT plays Portland as well on Saturday, but the Mean Green have gotten out to a quick 2-0 start already (heading into Saturday’s game) and I think the Mean Green present many match-up issues for the Warriors. In this tournament affair, look for the depth and experience that UNT brings to the table to to be the difference. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-10-18 | UC Riverside v. Portland State -8 | Top | 64-71 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Both teams enter at 0-1, but UC Riverside is 1-0 ATS, while Portland State is 0-1 ATS as well. The Pilots fell 84-57 to Oregon, but it beat UC Riverside last year 94-82. The Highlanders fell 72-59 to Oregon State, but with a much more high-profile game upcoming at UNLV on Tuesday, I think UC Riverside also gets caught “looking ahead.” Play on Portland State. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-09-18 | Southern Illinois +14.5 v. Kentucky | Top | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Southern Illinois (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Wildcats dropped their opener to Duke and while I think they’ll find a way to get the job done here in this favorable matchup, I do definitely feel that the door is open for the Salukis to keep this one a lot closer than what Vegas wants us to think. Kentucky now hits a very “vanilla” part of its schedule. Southern Illinois opens it season tonight, but with many veteran faces returning, I think the Salukis do indeed this one competitive down the stretch. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
11-07-18 | Ohio State +5.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 64-56 | Win | 100 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State (6:00 EST). Both teams lost plenty of talent in the offseason, but each also returns plenty of talent. This is a very evenly matched affair, a sentiment shared by the oddsmakers. In a contest which I envision being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I’ll point out that the Buckeyes are in fact 7-2 ATS in their last nine non-conference road games as an underdog in the 3.5 to 7.5 points range. T.M. Prediction: 70-65 Buckeyes. |
