03-02-19 | Kansas -7 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 72-67 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Kansas won the first meeting between the schools this season by a score of 84-72 and I’m expecting a repeat performance here as well. Kansas comes in off a 64-49 home win over K-State to move to 10-5 in conference action, while the Cowboys are off a deflating 84-80 OT loss to Texas Tech to fall to 3-12 in Big 12 play. Kansas has everything to play for, and Oklahoma State is stumbling towards the finish line. Note that Oklahoma State is just 4-12 ATS in its last 16 vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600, while Kansas is 14-5 ATS in its last 19 vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 Kansas. | |||||||
03-01-19 | Buffalo -8.5 v. Miami-OH | Top | 77-69 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Bulls come in off a 77-64 win over Akron on Tuesday. Buffalo enters on a six-game win streak and with a win today, it’ll cement its spot for the East Division title. With that in mind, I expect the visitors put the foot on the gas from start to finish in this favorable matchup. The Bulls average 87.5 PPG and they’ve won ten of the last 13 in this series. The RedHawks enter off an 82-69 win over Bowling Green, but I think they’ll have their hands full here with the Bulls high-octane offense. Note as well that Buffalo is 14-8 ATS as a favorite this season and 8-4 ATS in its last 12 on the road, while Miami is just 7-8 ATS this year vs. good offensive teams which average 77 plus points per contest. T.M. Prediction: 86-65 Bulls. | |||||||
02-28-19 | Northeastern v. Delaware +5 | Top | 75-64 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Delaware (10* BLACK-LABEL) If recent history is any precedence, then Delaware has to be loving it chances, as it took the first meeting between he schools 82-80 in OT from Boston back on December 30th. Normally “revenge” is a factor I take into account, but it’s a “non-factor” in this one in my opinion. And that’s because the Blue Hens come in having lost five of their last seven. The Huskies are 12-4 in league play and a game behind Hofstra. The Huskies have won two straight at home, but a difficult road challenge spells “upset” in my opinion. Note that NE is just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a road favorite in the 3.5 to six points range as well. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 69-67 Delaware. | |||||||
02-27-19 | Cincinnati v. SMU +4.5 | Top | 52-49 | Win | 100 | 30 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: SMU (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Bearcats come in complacent after their tough 64-60 road win over UConn. SMU comes in desperate to atone for a 95-48 loss on the road to UCF. The home side also plays with “revenge” here after falling 73-68 in the first matchup between the schools back on February 2nd. The Bears are also just 2-3 ATS this year off a road victory, while SMU is 7-3 ATS in its last ten off a road loss vs. a conference rival and 9-6 ATS in its last 15 revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 68-67 Cincinnati. | |||||||
02-26-19 | Miami-FL -4.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 75-76 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Florida (10* BLOWOUT BEST OF BEST) Miami is 0-7 on the road in ACC action. The Hurricanes though come in off an 80-65 home win over Georgia Tech on Saturday and I think they’ll finally carry that momentum over here on the road. A game at impotent Wake Forest is just what Miami needs to get back into the winners circle, as the Deacons are tied for 13th in the conference. Most recently Wake was destroyed 94-74 at NC State this weekend. Note that the Demon Deacons are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 at home and just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games as an underdog, while Miami is 5-1 ATS in its last six vs. the conference. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 81-60 Hurricanes. | |||||||
02-25-19 | Oklahoma +9.5 v. Iowa State | Top | 61-78 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Oklahoma is on the bubble right now, but it comes in with considerable momentum after back-to-back wins, including a confidence building 69-67 home win over Texas on Saturday. During the two-game win skein the Sooner have gone 13 of 30 from range and 49.1 percent from the floor overall. Note that this is a revenge game as well after falling 75-74 to Iowa State on February 4th. The Cyclones enter playing their worst ball of the year as well, with back-to-back losses and three in their last four. Note as well that Iowa State is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven as a favorite in the seven to 12.5 points range, while Oklahoma is 8-1-3 ATS in its last 12 on the road and 11-5-3 ATS in its last 19 as an underdog in the seven to 12.5 points range. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 73-70 Iowa State. | |||||||
02-24-19 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Illinois-Chicago -8.5 | Top | 59-74 | Win | 100 | 21 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Chicago (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Wisconsin Milwaukee comes to town having lost eight straight. Illinois Chicago may normally get caught “looking past” such a lowly opponent, but the Flames come into this one having lost two straight themselves. With the home side razor focused on the task at hand and looking to take advantage of this favorable spot, I am indeed fully expecting a decisive victory here. Note as well that the Panthers are just 2-5 ATS this year when playing with one or less days rest, while the Flames are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 as a home favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range. Lay the points, expect a rout. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 Illinois Chicago. | |||||||
02-23-19 | Utah v. Washington State | Top | 92-79 | Win | 100 | 26 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah (10* MONEY-MAKER) Utah looks to bounce back after its 62-45 road loss to conference No. 1 Washington, while Washington State looks poised for a letdown here in my opinion after its slim 76-74 home win over Colorado on Wednesday. If recent history is any precedence, then Utah has to be loving its chances today as well, as note that the Utes have the 23-3 all time advantage, including an 88-70 home win in the first matchup this year. After back-to-back losses though, Utah can’t take anything for granted here, so I think the “revenge” factor doesn’t work in this case. WSU has won three of four, but I think it’ll come up short against Utah’s depth once again. Note as well that Utah is 5-1 ATS in its last six as a road favorite of six points or less or pick, while WSU is just 3-6 ATS in its last nine as a home underdog of six points or less or pick. For all the reasons listed above, play on the visitors. T.M. Prediction: 84-73 Utah. | |||||||
02-22-19 | Indiana +7 v. Iowa | Top | 70-76 | Win | 100 | 29 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indiana (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Hoosiers are 13-13 and the Hawkeyes are 20-6. Indiana though will be looking to play spoiler here and kick this Iowa team while its down. The Hawkeyes comes in off a heart-breaking 66-65 home loss to Maryland, losing on a last second shot. Iowa now has no chance for a first round bye in the tournament, so a win or loss here doesn’t really effect it. Clearly the home side will be looking to bounce back, but Indiana is desperate for any sort of speak to hang its hat on down the stretch after a poor season (note though that the Hoosiers have won eight of the last ten between the schools and three of its last four in Iowa.) This one has all the makings of a classic. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 74-72 Iowa. | |||||||
02-21-19 | College of Charleston v. William & Mary +2 | Top | 84-86 | Win | 100 | 26 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: William & Mary (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) COC is 21-7 overall and 10-5 in conference play, but William & Mary is the “hungrier” team here. The Pride have fought their way back into respectability with a 6-8 conference record, good enough for fifth currently. The home side also plays with a big time “revenge factor” after falling 74-59 on the road in the first matchup between the schools. COC is already just 3-4 ATS this season as a road favorite or pick, while W&M is 12-8 ATS its last 20 after scoring 80 points or more in two straight games. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 W&M. | |||||||
02-20-19 | Nevada v. San Diego State +8.5 | Top | 57-65 | Win | 100 | 29 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State (10* MONEY-MAKER) Nevada is 24-1, while SDSU is 16-9. The Wolfpack are 8-1 on the road, while the Aztecs are 12-2 at home. SDSU comes in on top form, having won three straight. With back-to-back road games upcoming, I believe the home side lays everything on the line tonight. Nevada has a “tougher” game at home vs. Fresno State on Friday, so the possibility of a “look ahead” isn’t out of the question here either in my opinion. Note that SDSU is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 home games as an underdog in the 1.5 to 12.5 points range. I think the outright upset is possible, but in the end I’ll grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
02-19-19 | Kentucky v. Missouri +11 | Top | 66-58 | Win | 100 | 27 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Missouri (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). I think Kentucky comes in complacent. The Wildcats have won 12 of their last 13 after dropping No. 1 Tennessee in their latest action. With another game upcoming against the Vols, Kentucky also gets caught “looking ahead” here. Missouri has struggled offensively this year, but the Tigers can play defense with the best of them. Missouri is the much “hungrier” team in my estimation. Note as well that the Wildcats are just 10-14 ATS in their last 24 after having won 15 or more of their last 20 games, while Missouri is 8-2 ATS in its last ten after allowing 75 points or more in two straight games. T.M. Prediction: 70-64 Kentucky. | |||||||
02-18-19 | Kansas State v. West Virginia +7.5 | Top | 65-51 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: West Virginia (10* MONEY-MAKER) WVU comes in as the “hungrier” team as it looks to break a three-game slide. K-State is starting to slide as it’s only a half game ahead in the Big 12 standings after falling to Iowa State last time out. K-State averages 65.8 PPG and it allows 60.2. The Wildcats though gave up 78 points in the loss to Iowa State and I think they’ll have their hands full here as well in this difficult road venue. WVU averages 71.4 PPG and it allows 75.4. K-State though is just 4-6 ATS in its last ten vs. teams with losing records, while WVU is 3-1 ATS this season as a home dog or pick and 2-1 ATS this year in revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. WVU is out of contention, but I expect it to fight until the bitter end in this one. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 65-63 K-State. | |||||||
02-17-19 | Northern Iowa v. Evansville -1.5 | Top | 73-58 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Evansville (10* TRADE-MARK) Evansville comes in as the hungrier team after losing seven of its last eight, including three straight. A date vs. the “on again, off again” Northern Iowa Panthers is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked though in my opinion. Northern Iowa is primed for a letdown here after it snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Illinois State last time out. The Purple Aces are desperate to avoid last place in the conference and with a win today they’ll vault over Indiana State. Northern Iowa is just 6-17-1 ATS in its last 24 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and just 2-6 ATS in its last eight following a SU win, while Evansville is 10-3-1 ATS in its last 14 following an ATS loss. T.M. Prediction: 74-60 Evansville. | |||||||
02-15-19 | Marist +5 v. Quinnipiac | Top | 63-61 | Win | 100 | 26 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marist (10* TRADE-MARK) Marist enters playing its best ball of the year. The Red Foxes have won three of their last four aftter a 79-58 win over Niagara last time out. Quinnipiac comes in “tired” here after three straight wins, pulling away for a tough 98-88 OT win over Rider on Tuesday. Marist plays with revenge here today though and note that it’s 3-1 ATS in its last four this year revenging a home loss vs. an opponent. Note that the Bobcats are still just 2-4 ATS this season as a home favorite of six points or less or pick. The outright isn’t out of the question, but in the end let’s grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 71-70 Marist. | |||||||
02-14-19 | The Citadel +16 v. East Tennessee State | Top | 83-91 | Win | 100 | 26 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Citadel (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Am I calling for an outright upset here? Of course not. I simply feel that the home side will get caught by looking past its lowly opponent tonight. The Citadel Bulldogs though enter off a big 67-61 road win over Mercer as a 7.5 underdog last time out and I think they can carry that momentum over here. The Buccaneers on the other hand were upended 91-61 by Furman as 2.5 point underdogs in their last outing. The Citadel is 6-2 ATS in its last eight on the road, while East Tennessee State is just 6-7 ATS vs. the conference this year. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 85-75 East Tennessee State. | |||||||
02-13-19 | Richmond +12 v. VCU | Top | 60-81 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Richmond (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Clearly VCU is the better team. The Rams are 17-6, while the Richmond Spiders are only 10-14. Both teams come in on top form though, as VUC has won four straight, while Richmond has won two in a row. I’m not calling for an outright victory here, but I do think that the oddsmakers are slow in recognizing who well Richmond is currently playing at this exact moment, and I think this will lead to this contest being much closer than what this spread would suggest. Richmond is 6-2 ATS in its last eight as a road dog in the 9.5 to 12 points range, while VCU is just 9-10 ATS in its last 9 after having won four of its last five games. T.M. Prediction: 70-68 VCU. | |||||||
02-12-19 | Michigan v. Penn State +7 | Top | 69-75 | Win | 100 | 26 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penn State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Penn State comes in desperate as it’s just 1-11 in league play. The Wolverines come in complacent after winning 11 of their 13 Big Ten contests. Michigan comes to town off a 61-52 home win over Wisconsin. If the Wolverines have had one clear weakness though it’s been from 3-point land, where they shoot just 32.3 percent, ranked ninth in the conference. The Nittany Lions won their first conference game, but then fell immediately afterwards in a 74-70 loss at Ohio State last weekend. The Lions are also terrible from range, but note that they’re already 2-0 ATS this season in trying to revenge a loss of ten points or more vs. an opponent. Note that Michigan on the other hand is a terrible 8-10 ATS in its last 18 as a road favorite or pick. Grab the points in a closer than expected battle. T.M. Prediction: 64-63 Wolverines. | |||||||
02-10-19 | Northwestern +10 v. Iowa | Top | 79-80 | Win | 100 | 23 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern (10* MONEY-MAKER) Iowa comes in complacent after huge wins over Michigan and Indiana. Northwestern comes in hungry after three straight losses to Wisconsin, Maryland and Penn State. This is a revenge game as well for the Wildcats are they lost 73-63 at home in the first matchup this season. Note that the Wildcats are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 after scoring 65 points or less in two straight games, while the Hawkeyes are only 6-8 ATS at home this year and 0-2 ATS after a win by six points or less. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 74-70 Iowa. | |||||||
02-09-19 | DePaul v. Xavier -3.5 | Top | 74-62 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Xavier (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) DePaul is now 12-9 after its 67-55 win over Providence on Saturday. Xavier comes in as the much “hungrier” team though at 11-12 and off a 76-54 setback to Creighton in its latest matchup. The Musketeers will be risking life and limb today to get off the schneid as they enter having lost five straight. DePaul is a terrible 2-9 ATS in its last 11 when playing with five or six days rest, while Xavier is 7-2 ATS in its last nine in the same position. I expect the more desperate team to pull away down the stretch. T.M. Prediction: 78-68 Xavier. | |||||||
02-07-19 | BYU v. Portland +11.5 | Top | 83-48 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland (10* MONEY-MAKER) The Pilots come in as clearly the “hungrier” team. Portland is 0-9 in league play this year and it’ll look to take advantage of a complacent BYU side which just beat Loyola Marymount 67-49 in its most recent action. The Pilots almost pulled it off last weekend, eventually falling 69-63 to Santa Clara on the road. Take it for what you will as well, but BYU is a a disastrous 6-22 in its last 28 off a win vs. a conference rival, while Portland is 11-6 ATS in its last 17 revenging a same season loss vs. an opponent. No outright upset, but closer than expected. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 77-72 BYU. | |||||||
02-06-19 | VCU v. George Washington +7.5 | Top | 60-50 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: George Washington (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) The Rams have won eight of their last ten. VCU is on the bubble of making the tournament. Overall though VCU has struggled offensively by averaging 70.2 PPG, while allowing 63.5. The Colonials have been terrible over all this year, but they snapped a three-game slide with a win over Fordham last time out and I think they’ll build off that effort again here. Overall George Washington is averaging 65 PPG and allowing 70.5. I’ll point out though that VCU is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight road games vs. a team with a losing home record and only 2-6 ATS its last eight vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400, while George Washington is 7-1 ATS in its last eight vs. teams with winning SU records. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 68-67 VCU. | |||||||
02-05-19 | Vanderbilt +9 v. Arkansas | Top | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 28 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Vanderbilt comes in hungry after falling 77-67 on the road at Missouri on Saturday. Arkansas comes in complacent after its 90-89 road win over LSU. The Razorbacks took both meetings between the clubs last year, but everything looks like a much more competitive battle this time around as I think the home side gets caught looking past its lowly opponent and off its epic victory. Vandy on the other hand comes in razor focused as it looks to snap a nine game slide. The Commodores are also 8-4 ATS in their last 12 trying to revenge a road loss against a conference rival. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 74-73 Arkansas. | |||||||
02-04-19 | Penn State +4 v. Northwestern | Top | 59-52 | Win | 100 | 28 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penn State (10* GAME OF WEEK) After losing eight straight, clearly the Nittany Lions are going to be desperate to break the slide. The outright win isn’t out of the question, but I’m going to grab the points in a contest which I see being decided by whichever of these evenly matched sides has its hands on the ball last. Penn State comes in off a competitive 99-90 OT loss to Purdue: “I know our record isn’t what we expect or where we want it to be but the kids are competing and playing hard,” head coach Patrick Chambers noted. “The ultimate goal down the stretch here in February is that they continue to progress.” Northwestern comes in off back-to-back losses to ranked teams and I think it gets caught “flat footed” here. Note that Penn State is 9-5 ATS in its last 14 after allowing 80 points or more, while Northwestern is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 as a home favorite of six points or less or pick. T.M. Prediction: 67-65 Penn State. | |||||||
02-03-19 | Wright State +1 v. IUPU-Indianapolis | Top | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wright State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Wright State won this game at home 72-64 just before the New Year and I’m expecting a similar final combined outcome here as well. IUPUI looks poised for a classic letdown here though after its big upset win over conference leading NKU on Friday. Can anyone say “letdown” spot? I think the Raiders, who snapped a four-game winning streak by falling 67-53 at Illinois Chicago on Friday, come in focused on the task at hand and take full advantage of this matchup. Additionally note that Wright State is a perfect 4-0 ATS already this year when playing one or less days rest, while IUPUI is just 3-7 ATS in it last ten as a home favorite of six points or less or pick. For all the reasons listed above, play on the visitors. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Wright State. | |||||||
02-02-19 | New Mexico +11.5 v. Fresno State | Top | 70-82 | Loss | -108 | 26 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Mexico (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) I’m not calling for an outright upset, but I think that New Mexico will keep this one competitive until the final moments. The Lobos enter off a tough 68-66 home loss to Utah State last weekend, while Fresno State got the better of Wyoming 75-62 on the road on Wednesday. New Mexico comes in as the “hungrier” team, having lost two straight and five of its last six. The Lobos average 76.7 PG and they allow 76.3. The Bulldogs come in complacent after winning three of their last four. Fresno State averages 76.2 PPG and it allows 66.1. Note though that New Mexico 6-3 ATS in its last nine when playing with five or six days rest, while Fresno State is just 4-6 ATS at home and only 3-5 ATS vs. the conference. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Bulldogs. | |||||||
02-01-19 | Northern Kentucky v. IUPU-Indianapolis +3 | Top | 77-83 | Win | 100 | 26 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: IUPUI (10* GAME OF MONTH) After winning eight of its last nine and six conference games in a row, I think the Norse finally let the foot off the gas here vs. the hungry Jaguars. Most recently NKU defeated Milwaukee 73-60 this past Saturday. The Norse average 108.9 points per 100 possessions, while allowing 100.1 points per 100. The Jags average 99.8 points per 100 possessions, but make up for it on the other end by allowing 101.3 per 100. IUPUI though has been improving dramatically/quickly, most recently destroying Detroit 80-65 on Saturday to bump them to 5-4 in league play. I think the oddsmaker are slow in recognizing this improvement. The outright is possible, but in the end I’m grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 73-70 IUPUI. | |||||||
01-31-19 | Delaware v. Elon +1 | Top | 56-57 | Win | 100 | 25 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Elon (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) It’s an “in season” revenge game for Elon. Delaware is 6-3 in CAA action and the Blue Hens took the first meeting between the schools 77-65 on January 5th. The Blue Hens average 72.5 PPG and they allow 70.9. After a four-game losing streak, Elon will now look to avenge the earlier setback to Delaware and to build off its 89-82 win over UNCW on January 26th. Elon average 70.4 PPG and it allows 76.6. I’ll point out though that the Blue Hens are just 6-8 ATS in their last 14 after playing two consecutive home games, while Elon is already 3-1 ATS this season after allowing 80 points or more. Grab as many points as you can. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
01-30-19 | Northern Iowa +11.5 v. Loyola-Chicago | Top | 60-61 | Win | 100 | 27 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Iowa (10* TRADE-MARK) I’m not calling for an outright upset, but I think the hungry 9-12 Northern Iowa Panthers will keep this one competitive until the final moments vs. the 13-8 Loyola Chicago Ramblers. Northern Iowa broke a two-game slide with a win over Evansville last time out, while Loyola Chicago has won four of its last five after smashing Southern Illinois this past weekend. The Ramblers come in complacent after six straight home wins. Additionally note that the home side is just 5-6 ATS at home this year, while Northern Iowa is 3-1 ATS in its last four vs. teams with winning records. T.M. Prediction: 63-60 Loyola Chicago. | |||||||
01-29-19 | Eastern Michigan +2.5 v. Central Michigan | Top | 82-86 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Eastern Michigan (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Chips opened the season by going 14-3, but CMU comes in having lost three straight. EMU won’t be taking anything for granted here, as it just broke a three-game slide of its own by knocking off WMU 93-67 on the road last time out. Elijah Minnie was a beast in that one with 29 points. These are two evenly matched teams (as evidenced by this spread), but I think the overall conditions favor the visitors. Also note that EMU is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 following an ATS victory, while CMU is just 2-5 ATS in it last seven following an ATS victory and only 1-4 ATS in its last five at home. T.M. Prediction: 75-70 EMU. | |||||||
01-28-19 | Southern Utah v. Northern Arizona -1 | Top | 77-80 | Win | 100 | 22 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Arizona (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Southern Utah is 9-8 and after its four game win streak was snapped last time out vs. Northern Colorado, I think the Thunderbirds are ripe for a letdown here as well. Brandon Better was a bright spot in a losing cause last time out for SU with 22 points. The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks won’t be taking anything for granted and they won’t be lacking for motivation after staring the year 5-13. Most recently the Lumberjacks fell to Northern Colorado, led by 15 points and five boards from Carlos Hines. But the home floor advantage is significant in this early afternoon contest in my opinion. Further note that the Thunderbirds are a poor 15-33-1 ATS in their last 49 following an ATS loss and just 1-5 ATS in their last six on the road. Northern Arizona on the other hand is a perfect 4-0 ATS in its last four following an ATS loss. T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Northern Arizona. | |||||||
01-27-19 | Washington State +14 v. Oregon | Top | 58-78 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington State (10* BLACK-LABEL) I’m not at all suggesting that the lowly Cougars are going to win this one outright, but I do think that the stage is set for a competitive battle. WSU is off a 90-77 loss at Oregon State and it’s now just 1-5 in league play. Oregon enters off a 61-56 home loss to Washington, dropping the Ducks to just 2-4 in Pac 12 action. The Cougars average 78.5 PPG, while allow 77.9. Oregon averages only 71.2 PPG, while allowing 64.7. I believe the Ducks are the better team, but a “two TD favorite?” I don’t see it. Note that Oregon is just 1-4 ATS in its last five at home,. while WSU is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as a 13 points or more road conference underdog after allowing 90 points or more in a loss in its previous outing. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-69 Oregon. | |||||||
01-26-19 | George Washington +14 v. George Mason | Top | 55-62 | Win | 100 | 25 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: George Washington (10* TRADE-MARK). The 6-13 George Washington Colonials won’t be lacking for motivation today. George Mason on the other hand comes in complacent in my opinion after winning four straight. GW averages 64.7 PPG, led by DJ Williams with 13.1 points and 4.9 boards per game. The Colonials allow 71.4 PPG overall. George Mason averages 72.1 PPG and it allows 68. Justin Kier averages 15.4 points and 6.7 boards for the Patriots. Note though that GW is 8-2 ATS in its last ten as an underdog and 5-1 ATS in its first six road games, while GM is just 12-13 ATS in its last 25 as a favorite. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 70-65 George Mason. | |||||||
01-25-19 | Rider v. Iona +1 | Top | 71-77 | Win | 100 | 26 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iona (10* MONEY-MAKER) After five straight wins, I think the Rider Broncs get caught complacent here. most recently Rider topped Manhattan 60-47. Overall the Broncos average 77.6 PPG. The Iona Gaels have split their last eight games, and they’ll be eager to return to the winners circle after a tight 83-81 loss to Monmouth last time out. Asante Giste was a bright spot in the losing cause with 21 points. As a team Iona verges 80.9 PPG. Note that the Broncs are also just 4-6 ATS on the road this year, while the Gaels are 3-1 ATS at home. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
01-24-19 | Charlotte v. Texas-San Antonio -9 | Top | 43-88 | Win | 100 | 28 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas San Antonio (10* MONEY-MAKER) The UTSA Roadrunners come in hungry to stop a two-game slide. After winning seven straight, UTSA has dropped two in a row. The 49ers almost pulled off a huge upset over ODU last time out, but after coming up just short and getting outscored 52-36 in the second half, I think Charlotte comes out flat here. Additionally note that the 49ers are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, while the Roadrunners are 4-1 ATS In their last five vs. teams with a losing SU record. I’m laying the points and expecting a blowout. T.M. Prediction: (FINAL PREDICTED SCORE COMING SHORTLY) | |||||||
01-23-19 | East Carolina +20.5 v. Houston | Top | 50-94 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: East Carolina (10* TRADE-MARK) Am I suggesting that the 8-9 East Carolina Pirates are going to take down the 18-1 Houston Cougars on their home court?! Of course not. I simply feel that the home side will get caught looking past their lowly opponent tonight, leaving the back door open for the visitors to comfortably sneak in through down the stretch. ECU has struggled all season, but it does have a signature win at home over Cincinnati, which is significant in my opinion. Most recently ECU lost its third straight in an 85-74 setback at home to Temple. The Pirates won’t be lacking for motivation today anyways. Houston comes in off the 69-60 win over South Florida in its latest action, but note that it’s just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a home favorite of 12.5 points or more. I’m grabbing all the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-62 Houston. | |||||||
01-22-19 | Western Michigan +6.5 v. Ohio | Top | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 26 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I’m expecting a battle until the end here. WMU comes in hungry at 6-12 overall, including 0-5 in league play. The Broncos have lost five straight, most recently getting rolled 79-48 by Bowling Green. Overall though WMU is averaging 71.5 PPG, led by Michael Flowers with 15.6 points, 4.7 boards and 3.6 assists per game. Defense has been the issue for the Broncos, allowing 74.2 PPG. But a date vs. Ohio is just what WMU needs to get back on track, as the Bobcats come in scuffling as well having lost two straight (75-52 setback to Toledo on Friday most recently.) Overall Ohio is averaging 70.3 PPG, while allowing 71.9. I believe these teams are much more evenly matched than what this spread would suggest. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 69-68 Ohio. | |||||||
01-21-19 | Nebraska v. Rutgers +8 | Top | 69-76 | Win | 100 | 27 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Nebraska may win this game, but I’m expecting an all out war. The Huskers only losses have come on the road (plus against MSU at home). Rutgers comes in as the “hungrier” team here after three straight setbacks, most recently to Northwestern. The Huskers had their 20 game home win streak snapped last time out and I think they’re still collectively “caught up” on that one. Check out what head coach Tim Miles said recently: “There are no moral victories and I’m utterly mad and disappointed,” Miles admitted. “We can’t stick around and be too disappointed because we have Rutgers, who just beat a ranked team at home so we need to be ready to go.” Since beating Ohio State 64-61 on Jan. 9th the Scarlet Knights have lost three straight, but I expect them to put up a fight here in this favorable situation. Note as well that Nebraska is just 2-4 ATS already this year following a conference game, while Rutgers is already a perfect 2-0 ATS this season off a home loss vs. a conference rival. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 68-67 Nebraska. | |||||||
01-20-19 | Duquesne v. George Washington +2.5 | Top | 91-85 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: George Washington (10* TRADE-MARK) Duquesne comes in off a 74-68 road win over Richmond, but I think it’ll stumble here. George Washington managed a 59-56 road win over La Salle in its latest action and I believe it carries that momentum over here in front of the home town crowd. The Dukes though are just 1-2 on the road. Overall Duquesne averages 73.9 PPG and it allows 70.8. The Colonials are averaging only 63.7 points, while allowing 70.2, but I’ll point out that they’ve been “money in the bank” for bettors in this spot for quite some time, going 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as a home underdog or pick. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 70-66 GW. | |||||||
01-19-19 | Oregon v. Arizona State -4 | Top | 64-78 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State (10* TRADE-MARK) I’m expecting the home side to put the foot on the gas from start to finish and to comfortably pull away for a convincing SU/ATS victory. Oregon enters off a 59-54 win on the road over Arizona and I believe it’ll suffer a predictable letdown here. ASU enters off a 70-67 home win over Oregon State last time out. To say this is a “revenge” game would be a bit of an understatement as well as the Ducks have won seven straight in the series, including a 76-68 home win in the most recent back on February 22nd. Oregon averages 72.5 PPG and it allows 64.2. ASU is averaging 79.2 PPG and it’s allowing 72.9. Oregon though is only 1-7 ATS in its last eight after allowing 60 points or less in two straight games, while ASU is 4-1 ATS in its last five after playing a game as a home favorite. Lay the points and expect a blowout. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 ASU. | |||||||
01-17-19 | NC-Wilmington +12.5 v. Hofstra | Top | 72-87 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NC Wilmington (10* MONEY-MAKER) Outright victory? Very doubtful. However, I think the hungry 7-11 UNCW Seahawks will keep this one interesting vs. the 15-3 Pride. Could anyone blame Hofstra coming in even a tiny bit complacent here after 12 straight wins? The Seahawks lost six straight, but since then they’ve won three of their last four and I think they can catch the home side a tiny bit complacent. The Seahawks average 77 PPG, while allow 80.4. The Pride average 81.9 PPG, while allowing 68.6. Clearly Hofstra is the better team, but the Seahawks won’t be rolling over and they come in looking much improved after a slow start as well. Additionally note that the Seahawks are already 4-1 ATS this year vs. conference opponents, while the Pride are just 1-4 ATS in their last five after two straight wins vs. conference rivals. I’m grabbing the points. T.M. Prediction: 83-75 Pride. | |||||||
01-16-19 | Utah State v. San Jose State +18.5 | Top | 81-63 | Win | 100 | 29 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I’m clearly not calling for an outright victory, but I think that the lowly Spartans come in “under the radar” here. The Utah State Aggies have been alternating wins and losses in each of their last seven games after a 71-55 win over Wyoming last time out. Utah State averages 78.5 PPG an fit allows 65.3 San Jose State will be desperate to break a six game slide after falling 87-64 to Boise State last time out. The Spartans average 67 PPG and they allow 73. However take note that Utah State is just 4-5 ATS this year after a win by 15 points or more. Also note that SJ State is 6-2 ATS in its last eight as a home underdog of 15.5 points or more. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 75-66 Utah State. | |||||||
01-15-19 | Davidson v. St. Joe's +3.5 | Top | 60-61 | Win | 100 | 29 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St. Joseph’s (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) It’s desperation time for St. Joe’s, which is looking to break a four-game slide. Davidson though looks primed for a letdown after three straight wins in my opinion. St. Joe’s returns home focused and hungry after consecutive road losses to Duquesne and St. Bonaventure. Davidson has the three game win streak, but after going into the half with a lead vs. VSU last time out, the Wildcats nearly stumbled in the second. The Hawks fought tooth and nail on the road vs. the Dukes, but came up short in the 85-84 setback. Charlie Brown was a bright spot in a losing cause with 28 points, four boards, two assists and two blocks. I’ll point out as well that Davidson is just 1-3 ATS in true road games this year, while St. Joe’s is still 3-1 ATS in its last four as a home dog of six points or less or pick. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 72-69 St. Joes. | |||||||
01-14-19 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State -3.5 | Top | 73-69 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma State (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Oklahoma State has lost six straight in this series, but I expect that streak to end tonight. Baylor comes in off a 73-68 loss to Kansas. It was the first time the Bears played without forward Tristan Clark, who was lost to the season to injury. I think Baylor struggles again here without Clark in the line-up. The Cowboys though are moving in the opposite direction. After starting the conference schedule with two straight loss, OKS has won two straight. Note that OKS is 7-3 ATS in its last 12 vs. the conference, while Baylor is a poor 1-5 ATS in its last six away from friendly confines. Lay the points, expect a rout. T.M. Prediction: 75-60 Oklahoma State. | |||||||
01-13-19 | Drake v. Northern Iowa | Top | 54-57 | Win | 100 | 24 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Iowa (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) Drake opened its non-conference schedule by going 12-2. The Bulldogs opened conference play with two straight losses, but they come in off an 82-70 win over Southern Illinois. Drake enters scoring 107.8 points per 100 possessions, while allowing 103.9 points per 100 possessions. However note that since conference play has started the defensive adjustments goes to 108.1 per 100 possessions. NIU has dropped two straight conference contests, so it clearly won’t be lacking motivation tonight in front of the home town crowd. Overall the Panthers are averaging 98.2 points per 100 possessions, while allowing just 102.3 points per 100 possessions. However, the offensive numbers are skewed as the Panthers play at one of the slowest paces in the nation, averaging just 65.6 possessions per game, utilizing a half court offense most of the time. Note that Drake is just 2-4 ATS in its last six as a road dog of six points or less or pick, while NIU is 3-0 ATS in its last three off a close road loss of three points or less. T.M. Prediction: 72-66 Northern Iowa. | |||||||
01-12-19 | Hofstra v. Elon +12 | Top | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 25 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Elon (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) I’m not predicting that the 5-13 Elon Phoenix will take this one outright over the 14-3 Hofstra Pride, but I do think that the hungry home side can keep this one a lot more competitive than what this spread would suggest. Hofstra’s won 11 games in a row and complacency has to be setting in at this point. The Pride were pushed to the breaking point in their last game as well, needing triple OT to knock off William & Mary on Thursday. The Phoenix on the other hand enter off three straight losses, most recently to Northeastern. I think Elon is clearly the “hungrier” team in this matchup. Hofstra comes in exhausted. Note as well that the Pride are just 1-3 ATS in their last four after two straight victories by six points or less, while Elon is 12-5 ATS in is last 17 after allowing 80 points or more in its previous outing. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 78-70 Hofstra. | |||||||
01-11-19 | Purdue +4.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 84-80 | Win | 100 | 28 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Purdue (10* TRADE-MARK) I’m banking on a minor upset here. This one features two of the best players in the country in Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ and Purdue’s Carsen Edwards. But Purdue won’t be lacking motivation and focus tonight after starting the conference part of its portion with a fourth straight road loss, most recently falling 77-59 at sixth-ranked MSU on Tuesday. The Badgers broke a two-game slide with a 71-52 win over Penn State on Sunday, but I think an immediate return to mediocrity is imminent. Additionally note that Purdue is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 after having won two of its last three games, while Wisconsin is just 1-9 ATS in its last ten after playing a game as a road favorite. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 70-67 Boilermakers. | |||||||
01-09-19 | Rhode Island v. Richmond +1 | Top | 78-67 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Richmond (10* BANKROLL BUILDER) Rhode Island looks primed for another letdown here in my opinion after it’s 60-53 road loss to Saint Louis in its previous action. Richmond is looking to bounce back as well after a poor 72-48 loss to Dayton on Sunday. Note that this is a “revenge” game as well for the Spiders after the Rams posted the 85-67 home win in the lone meeting last year. Rhode Island is just 1-3 on the road. The Rams average 70.1 PPG and they allow 65.2. Richmond returns home after two straight on the road and I think it’ll make the most of friendly confines. The Spiders are 4-4 at home and they average 70.6 PPG and they allow 70.1. Note though that the Rams are already just 3-5 ATS as a favorite this season and 0-5 ATS on the road, while Richmond is 3-1 ATS in its last four after scoring 60 points or less in its previous contest. T.M. Prediction: 70-68 Richmond. | |||||||
01-08-19 | Brown v. Canisius +1.5 | Top | 97-90 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Canisius (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) After four straight wins, I think that the Brown Bears suffer a predictable letdown here. The Golden Griffins come in on top form as well though, having won back to back games, most recently a come from behind 70-66 victory over Siena on Saturday. Clearly these teams are evenly matched, a sentiment shared by the bookmakers. But the difference comes in the trends/numbers today, as note that Canisius is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 off an upset win as a road dog, while Brown is just 1-4 ATS in its last five after four or more SU wins. T.M. Prediction: 75-70 Canisius. | |||||||
01-06-19 | Illinois v. Northwestern -8 | Top | 66-68 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The Illini have lost three straight and I think they’ll have difficulty here as well. Northwestern has split its last four games and it’ll be eager to return to form after falling at MSU last time out. Both teams are searching for their first conference victory, which makes home floor advantage this evening even that much more important. The Wildcats three conference losses though come against teams which still all have perfect conference records. Illinois’ offense simply won’t be able to keep pace here, especially considering that the Wildcats allow just 63.0 PPG, which ranks 28th in the country. Additionally note that NW is 4-0 ATS in its last four vs. teams with losing records, while Illinois is just 1-7 ATS in its last eight following a SU loss. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 Northwestern. | |||||||
01-05-19 | College of Charleston v. James Madison +8.5 | Top | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 23 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: James Madison (10* TRADE-MARK) After nine straight wins, I think College of Charleston comes in complacent. And after four straight losses, I expect James Madison to come in focused and desperate. The outright upset isn’t out of the question, but in the end I’m going to grab the points. The Cougars average 74.3 PPG and they allow 66.5, while the Dukes average 70.1 points, while allowing 71.6. COC though is just 1-2 ATS this year as a road favorite in the 6.5 to 12 points range and just 6-9 ATS in its last 15 off a win by ten points or more vs. a conference rival, while JM is a perfect 4-0 ATS in its last four off an upset loss to a conference rival as a favorite. T.M. Prediction: 68-67 COC. | |||||||
01-04-19 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Illinois-Chicago -4 | Top | 66-64 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Chicago (10* BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT) The IUPUI Jaguars come in off a 72-64 loss vs. Wright State on Sunday, while the Illinois Chicago Flames fell 73-58 vs. Northern Kentucky in their most recent action. Two teams hungry for a bounce back performance collide, but I think the home floor advantage will prove pivotal in this particular matchup. UIC has to be feeling confident here, as it took both meetings over IUPUI last year. The Jags have lost four straight and they’re 0-2 in conference play. Overall IUPUI averages 78.3 PPG and it allows 73.7. The Flames average 76.3 PPG and they allow 77.9. They have however won six of their last seven at home. Additionally note that IUPUI is just 22-50-1 ATS in its last 73 vs. teams with losing records. T.M. Prediction: 82-70 Illinois Chicago. | |||||||
01-03-19 | Western Kentucky v. Charlotte +9 | Top | 68-50 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte (10* TRADE-MARK) WKU comes in complacent herein my opinion after back-to-back victories, including an upset 83-76 victory over Wisconsin last time out. Overall WKU averages 73.5 PPG . Charlotte only averages 58 PPG, but it’ll be desperate here to break a three-game slide after a 68-53 loss to Colorado last time out. Jon Davis was a bright spot in the setback with 25 points. Note that WKU is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with losing records, while the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six in this series. I like the “hungry” home side to keep it competitive. Grab the points. T.M. Prediction: 68-65 ‘Toppers. | |||||||
01-02-19 | Tulane +20.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 61-93 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tulane (10 BLACK-LABEL BLOWOUT). Outright upset? Of course not. I just think that the 11-2 Bearcats will leave the door open just wide enough for the hungry 4-8 Green Wave to sneak in through down the stretch. Tulane enters off a 67-59 loss to Alabama A&M, while Cincinnati posted a 77-56 home win over South Carolina in its latest victory. But with conference play up next, I think the Bearcats will indeed get caught looking past the Green Wave today. Overall Tulane averages 68.8 PPG and it allows 73.2, while the Bearcats average 74 PPG, while allowing only 58. Tulane though is 4-1 ATS in its last five as a road underdog of 12.5 points or more and 5-2 ATS in its last seven off an upset loss as a favorite, while Cincinnati is already 0-2 ATS this season as a home favorite in the 18.5 to 24 points range. T.M. Prediction: 70-62 Bearcats. | |||||||
01-01-19 | CS-Fullerton +12.5 v. Washington | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 30 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cal State Fullerton (10* NON-CONF DOG OF YEAR) I think the Cal State Fullerton Titans sneak comfortably in through the back door down the stretch. Cal State broke a four-game slide with a win over Portland last time out. Washington is 8-4 on the year, but the Huskies have been off since December 21st, so I believe that “rest” will in fact lead to be a bit of “rust” here. Clearly on paper the Huskies are the better team, but I think the situation favors the visitors here as the home side gets caught looking ahead to conference play. Additionally note that Cal State is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 off a home win by ten points or more, while Washington is already only 3-5 ATS as a favorite this year. T.M. Prediction: 70-66 Washington. | |||||||
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.

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) | |||||||

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. |
