01-23-24 | Nuggets -3.5 v. Pacers | 114-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets are on the road in Indiana to take on the Indiana Pacers. Denver is 30-14 this season, good for third in the Western Conference while Indiana is seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 24-19 record. They have played once this season with Denver coming away with a 117-109 win. Denver has been getting it done on the defensive end, where they are the sixth-ranked scoring defense, allowing 110.9 points per game. They have the 14th-ranked offense, putting up 115.9 points per game. Indiana comes into this game with the best offense in the NBA. They are putting up 125 points per game. They need the offensive output as they are weak on the defensive end. They have the second-worst defense in the NBA, giving up 123.1 points a game. Tyrese Haliburton is listed as questionable for the game, and if he can’t go, the Pacers will miss his 23 points a game. The Nuggets have won the last seven games against the Pacers. I like the Nuggets in this one as they are a bad matchup for the Pacers. The Pacers are not a good rebounding team which will allow Jokic to control the paint and will offer a lot of second-chance opportunities for the Nuggets. The Nuggets are the better defensive team and that will make the difference down the stretch. Play on Denver. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-22-24 | Bulls v. Suns -4.5 | 113-115 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
The Suns come into their game versus the Bulls riding a four-game winning streak and they have won two of their last three home games. Over those four games, the offense has come alive, putting up over 120 points per game in their last four games. They should be able to find success against a Bulls team that is giving up over 115 points a game on the road. The Bulls have won two in a row. They will need to step it up on the offensive end, where they are putting up 110 points a game on the road this season. The Phoenix Suns have won 8 straight over the Bulls with six of those wins covering a 5.5 spread. I am taking the Suns at home in this one. Play on Phoenix. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-22-24 | Wake Forest v. North Carolina -7.5 | 64-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The North Carolina Tar Heels have been dominating the ACC since the conference season got underway. The Tar Heels have covered the number in seven of their last eight wins. Wake Forest lives on the perimeter, but North Carolina has the athletes on defense, making it difficult to get open looks. Carolina with Armando Bacot down low, will have a huge advantage in the painted area. Wake Forest has lost their last two road games in the conference. The Tar Heels won all their conference games by double digits, except for an 8-point win over FSU. They have won by an average of 15 points in conference play. Wake lives on the perimeter and must hit threes to stay in this game. The problem for them is that the Tar Heels allow their opponent to shoot just 29% from deep. I think Wake will struggle against the NC defense and the Tar heels will dominate the boards and in the paint. I am looking for another double-digit home win for Carolina at home in this one. Play on NC. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-21-24 | Indiana State -5 v. Murray State | 72-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Indiana State has been playing their best basketball since the Larry Bird days. They are contenders to win the MVC this season and make the Big Dance. They will be on the road for this one, but Murray State is just 5-4 SU and 3-5 ATS at home this year. Murray State's defense is not very good and I expect the ISU backcourt to dominate in this game. ISU has won four of their last five games, holding four of those opponents to 73 points or fewer. Indiana State is one of the best shooting teams in the country, and Murray State is 305th in the nation in opponent field-goal percentage and 301st in opponent three-point shooting. I am laying the points in this one and looking for an easy double-digit win from ISU. Play on ISU. This is a 4% play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Memphis -3 v. Tulane | 79-81 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
Memphis is coming off a bad loss on their home court to South Florida by a point. They will be looking to take their frustration out on Tulane in this one. Before that upset loss, Memphis was on a roll, winners of 10 in a row. I am looking for the Memphis offense to expose the Tuane defense has been poor all season. UAB pounded the paint in beating Tulane and Memphis has the players to do just that. Tulane is going to put up points with the 8th-ranked scoring offense but they will give up easy points as well. With Memphis controlling the paint, that should free up some open shots from deep and Memphis is in the top third in three-point shooting. Memphis bounces back in this one and gets the win and cover on the road. Play on Memphis. This is a 3% play | |||||||
01-21-24 | Michigan State +1 v. Maryland | 61-59 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
If Michigan State looked in a mirror they would probably see the other team's reflection. Both teams are 11-7 overall and just 3-4 in the conference. Both teams are led by an elite scoring guard with both putting up 20 points a game. Last season, Michigan State came away with a 63-58 win at home. This season, the Spartans are 9-8-1 ATS and the Terrapins are 7-11 ATS.MSU is averaging averaging five more field goals than Maryland and the defenses are pretty even. Michigan State is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings with Maryland. I am taking. Izzo and the Spartans to get an away win here as this is the time of the year the Spartans start to put things together if they are going to. Play on MSU. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
01-20-24 | Ole Miss +12 v. Auburn | 59-82 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 55 m | Show | |
The Auburn Tigers are a perfect 4-0 in the SEC and have a 15-2 overall record. They will face an Ole Miss team that is 15-2 overall and 2-2 in the conference. Auburn is riding a 10-game overall winning streak and they have won 12 in a row at home. Ole Miss’s two losses have both come in SEC play on the road at Tennessee and LSU. The Rebel’s offense is putting up 77.8 points per game while on the defensive end, they are giving up 70.6. This season the Tigers are 13 in the nation. Auburn is putting up 84 points per game and is giving up just 65.6 points per game. I understand the fact that Ole Miss has played a light schedule, but I feel this point spread is a little off. The Tigers are a perfect 9-0 at home this season while Ole Miss is 2-2 on the road. Both these teams play very good defense and I look for Ole Miss to keep this one within the large number. Play on Ole Miss. This is a 3.% play. | |||||||
01-20-24 | Packers +10 v. 49ers | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 9 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers will be at home to take on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round. The 49ers, had the bye last week while Green Bay went down to Dallas and dominated the Cowboys. Green Bay, In their past three road games, have put up 38.0 points per game. For the season, they were 12th in scoring at 22.5 points a game. On the defensive side, they are giving up 20.6 points per game. San Fransisco finished third in the NFL in scoring at 28.9 points a game. The defense also finished third in points allowed with 17.5 points per game. The Packers looked great against Dallas last week and will need to play another flawless game this weekend on both sides of the ball. The 49ers' home record against the spread this season was just 3-5. Just like Baltimore, I like San Fran to win this game but not cover the large number. Play on Green Bay. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-20-24 | Texans +10 v. Ravens | 10-34 | Loss | -120 | 27 h 30 m | Show | |
The AFC Divisional round starts things off with Houston visiting Baltimore. The Texans took care of the Cleveland Browns 45-14. The Ravens finished the season at 13-4 and had last weekend off. These two teams met earlier in the season, with the Ravens coming away with a 25-9 victory. I think these two teams are closer now than the first time they met. They both were 8-4 against teams with a winning record. Both quarterbacks have had excellent seasons with Jackson being the more dynamic runner and Stoud being the better passer. The Ravens have experience on their side but with Jackson as quarterback, they are just 1-3 in the playoffs. I think the Ravena will win this game but this is too many points to give a hungry Texans team that is playing really well and a Ravens team that has not shown they can win in the playoffs. Take the points. Play on Houston. This is a 4% play. | |||||||
01-20-24 | North Carolina -7 v. Boston College | 76-66 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show | |

North Carolina is 6-0 SU in their last six games, and they have won those six games by an average of 20.7 points. They’ve covered in six of their last seven games. Boston College has lost three of their last five games. The Eagles have covered just four of their nine home games. North Carolina has won 17 of the last 18 meetings against the Eagles. With the way the Tar Heels have been beating up ACC teams so far, this is not enough points for me to take BC, even at home. Play on North Carolina. This is a 3% play | |||||||

Alabama has an edge on the offensive end as they are averaging 125.6 points per 100 possessions, which is #1 in the entire country. The Vols are averaging 117.5 points per 100. This should be a close game and I will take the points with the better offensive team and the team that is hotter at the moment. Play on Alabama plus the points. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

New Orleans has been getting it done on the offensive end behind a three-headed monster of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and CJ McCullen.Phoenix has three players of their own in Durant, Booker, and Beal who are all finally healthy and starting to mesh. New Orleans has covered in seven of its last 10, Phoenix has not covered in four of its last five, and just two of their last eight on the road. I am taking the Pelicans at home in this one. Play on New Orleans. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

The Tigers went just 2-16 in conference play last season and have already matched the win total. Ole Miss plays a smothering defense that will bottle up the LSU offense. There is something about taking a home unranked against a ranked team, but at this number, I can’t see a reason to take LSU Play on Ole Miss. This is a 4% play | |||||||

YSU has the better offense and even though Oakland relies on their defense, YSU has a slight edge on that end of the court also. YSU is also a very good rebounding team that gives their explosive offense more chances. I am taking the Penguins in this one. Play on Youngstown State. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

This will only be Kansas’ third true road game and they split the other two, scoring below their average in both games. Kansas has a big advantage in the paint with Dickerson. This should allow Kansas to get the outside game going where they are shooting 50% from the field. Kansas has beaten the Cowboys 5 times in a row with 4 of the 5 by double digits. I see another big win here for Kansas. Play on Kansas. This is a 5% play. | |||||||

During Wisconsin’s six-game winning streak, they have won by an average of 14.7 points. Looking at just the conference games, the margin in those four wins was 11.5. The Badgers are sixth in the country in offensive efficiency, which is a huge difference from past Badger teams that struggled on the offensive end. The Badgers still get it done on the defensive end, but the same can’t be said for Penn State as they rank 127th in defensive efficiency. Penn State is at home but they do not match up well against the Badgers on either end of the court. I like the Badgers to get the cover on the road. Play on Wisconsin. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 25.2 points per game. Jalen Hurts has not thrown a football since he injured his finger on Sunday. A.J. Brown did not practice Thursday and is listed as questionable with a knee injury. The Eagles' defense has been a big letdown over the last few games and they will need to step up if the Eagles are going to do anything in this game. The Buccaneers rank 20th in scoring at 20.5 points per game. They could only put up 9 last week against a bad Carolina team. The defense is ranked seventh, allowing 19.1 points per game. Baker Mayfield missed Thursday's walkthrough due to ankle and rib injuries and is questionable. The Eagles played the Bucs earlier this year in Tampa, coming away with the win and cover. The Bucs have lost two of their last three games against the spread at home. The Bucs have the 29th-ranked pass defense so the Eagles should be able to find some success through the air no matter who is under center. Mayfield has been a good story this season but I still have no trust in him and the Carolina game did not change that. Take the Eagles in this one, in what looks like a close game.

Matthew Stafford comes back to the Motor City as the Los Angeles Rams take on the Detroit Lions. Detroit finished the season with a 12-5 record while the Rams won their last four in a row to finish at 10-7. The Rams had to deal with injuries early in the season which led to inconsistent play from their offense. Matthew Stafford threw for 3,965 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Kyren Williams rushed for 1,144 yards with 12 touchdowns. The offense put up 23.8 points per game and allowed 22.2 points per game. The Lions played their starters last week as they were looking to stay in a groove and even though they came away with a win, it came at a cost as Sam Laporta was lost to an injury. For the season, Jared Goff threw for 4,575 yards, with 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Gibbs and David Montgomery were a two-headed monster in the backfield with Montgomery rushing for 1015 yards while Gibbs rushed for 945. Montgomery rushed for 13 touchdowns and Gibbs added ten. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a team-high 119 receptions and 1,515 yards. The offense put up 27.1 points per game, ranking 5th, while the defense allowed 23.2 points per game. The Rams have more playoff experience which could play a factor in this game. The Lions had a top-five scoring defense early in the season but has not been the same since November. The Rams have scored 25 or more points in six of their last seven games. The Lions have a young team on the rise but their coach has shown that he will gamble at inopportune times sometimes with success but when he fails he puts his defense and team at a disadvantage, As much as it pains me, I will be taking the Rams and the points in this one.

The Green Bay Packers square off against the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry’s World. Green Bay finished the season at 9-8 while Dallas is the second seed after going 12-5. The Packers were 6-8 and looking out of the playoffs but won three in a row and got in. Jordan Love will be making his first career playoff start. He threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The defense played well this season and allowed 20.6 points per game this season, which is 10th overall. Dallas comes into this game having won their last two games of the season. Dak Prescott threw for 4,516 yards with 36 touchdowns and nine picks. CeeDee Lamb had a league-high 135 catches for 1,749 receiving yards and 12 TDs. The Dallas defense was fifth overall in points allowed at 18.5 per game. I don’t like laying a touchdown in the playoffs but I am on the Cowboys in this one. The Dallas offense has been explosive at home and I see them putting up points on the Green Bay defense. ThisLove’s first playoff start and he will be facing a defense that can dial up pressure and force the quarterback into throws he doesn’t want to make. Throw in the fact that the Packers' best receiver is questionable and the rest of the receiving corps is young and inexperienced, I see that as a recipe for disaster.

Over their nine-game win streak, the Tigers have an average margin of victory of 6.8 points per game. The Shockers lost their last four by an average of 11.8 points per game.

In what could have been a high-scoring affair in Miami could be a lot different in the bitter cold of Kansas City. The third-seeded Kansas City Chiefs take on the sixth-seeded Miami Dolphins. These two teams met earlier this season in Germany, with Kansas City winning 21-14. It is forecasted to be cold with temperatures hovering around zero degrees and there is a 50% chance of snow. Miami finished the season at 11-6, but only beat one team with a winning record (at the time of playing). The dolphins are dealing with a rash of injuries at the wrong time of the season. Left tackle Terron Armstead could be a big problem for the offensive line if he cannot go. Defensive backs Jevon Holland and DeShon Elliott are uncertain and Xavien Howard has been ruled out. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back Raheem Mostert are looking like they will go but just how healthy are they? The Chiefs did not have an easy time this season. They started the season 6-1 but struggled the rest of the way. With the temperatures expected near zero, this will be one of the coldest games in NFL history. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are 4-2 against the number in playoff games since 2021. Miami does not have a lot of playoff experience to fall back on and have a first-time head coach. The Dolphins were 1-3 as road underdogs this season. The weather could be a huge factor for the Dolphins as they are used to the warm to moderate temperatures of South Beach. Tyreke has played in Kansas City. so he should have some pointers for the rest of his teammates on how to handle the cold weather. Miami has the offense and defense to win this game but with all the injuries it will be more difficult. If Mostert can go and he is teamed with Archane, the Dolphins could move the ball on the ground against the Chiefs' 18th-ranked rushing defense. The Chiefs offense is not as dominant as in years past as the Wide receiving core has been a huge disappointment this season. The Chiefs have lost three of their last four home games.

The Orlando Magic head south to take on in-state rivals the Miami Heat. Orlando is 21-16 and is ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.

On the defense end, the Magic are giving up 112 points per game which is ninth in the NBA. The Magic will be without Franz Wagner due to an ankle injury. The Heat are putting up 112.8 points per game. On the defensive end, they rank tenth in points allowed at 112.1. The Miami Heat will be without Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro is questionable with a shoulder injury. At even strength, this is a pretty even matchup at least on paper.

On the defensive end, they are giving up 113.2 points. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard have been healthy and have played in almost every game this season and surprisingly to many Harden has seemed to fit nicely into the mix. The Clippers won the last game between the two by 11 and Memphis had Morant and Smart in the lineup for that one. Jaren Jackson Jr. is also questionable for Memphis. I like the Clippers in this one, Play on the LA Clippers. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

On the defensive end, they are giving up 123 points per game. Cade Cunningham, the team's leading scorer, is listed as out until late January. The offensive output between the two teams is pretty even but the Pistons will be without their leading scorer and the one guy you could count on in the Piston’s offense. Detroit struggles on the offensive end in the best of times and now they have to face the second-best defense in the league. Houston will find success against a defense that has allowed 123 points allowed per game this season and 130.7 in their last three games. Play on Houston. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Damian Lillard is probable due to personal issues. The Boston Celtics have played five back-to-back games in which they have won the first game. In the second game after a win, the Celtics won four out of the five games. Boston's defense is far better than Milwaukee's defense while the offenses are pretty even.

I am looking for a close game that like the semi-final games could come down to the last possession. The Huskies won their three games before the Sugar Bowl by an average of just 2.7 points per game. Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country at least on paper but playing in the Big 10, they have not seen an offense like Washington’s. Penix Jr.'s ability to elude Michigan’s pressure will give him that extra second needed to find an open man downfield. Michigan has a good pass rush but Washington’s O-line won the award for best offensive line this season. Washington gave up 11 sacks in 14 games while averaging 37 pass attempts per game. Texas and Oregon (in both games) were able to run on Washington but it did not bring either team victory. Washington's defense ranked 25th in opponent yards per attempt and 29th in opponent QB rating. If Washington can get up two scores early, I still am not sold on McCarthy as a passer to bring them back when it matters. Take the points in this one as I see this being a field goal game.

The Panthers are 4-10-2 against the spread this season. They are 3-3-1 against the spread when they have played at home.

The Ravens locked up the top seed in the AFC and will be resting some key players in this game, including quarterback Lamar Jackson. The Ravens will give the start to Tyler Huntley. Baltimore is putting up 29.6 points a game and is giving up 16.4. Tyler Huntley has proven to be a capable quarterback and I like the Ravens to keep this one close. The Steelers have won their last two games with Rudolph under center but the offense is not lighting the world on fire. In seven meetings between these teams since 2020, the largest margin of victory was by seven points. Five of those seven games finished within four points. Both defenses have been really good this season and with Baltimore at home, I like this game to come down to a field goal. Take the points with Baltimore. Play on Baltimore.

Undefeated Pac-12 champion Washington Huskies square off against the one-loss Big 12 champion Texas Longhorns in one CFP semi-final game. Texas has won seven straight games and they've outscored their last three opponents 132-44. Washington wants the ball in the hands of Michael Penix Jr. Penix led the country in passing yards and had 33 touchdowns with nine interceptions. Texas’s biggest strength on defense is stopping the run, the problem is Washington doesn’t like to run the ball. Texas and Ewers should be able to find success against the Huskies' defense I am not sure they can keep up with the Huskie offense. I am looking for a back-and-forth game that could come down to who has the ball last. Take the points in this one. Play on Washington. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

The Grand Daddy of them all kicks off the CFP Semi-Finals when No. 4 Alabama faces No. 1 Michi, they were able to win out but not without some close games to test them. Alabama’s offense was 17th in the country in scoring, at 35.1 points per game this season. On the defensive side of the ball, they allowed 18.4 points per game, 17th best in the country. The Wolverines finished the season as one of the four undefeated teams in the FBS. They ranked second in the country on the season allowing just 239.7 yards per game and the 9.5 points per game allowed was the best scoring defense in the land. The Michigan offense is second in the Big Ten and 14th in the country with an average of 36.7 points per game. This season, the Wolverines were 3-0 SU versus ranked opponents and Alabama was 4-1 SU. Michigan is 7-2 ATS over their last nine games. Michigan has not seen an offense like Alabama’s. This will be a battle of trenches and I like Alaba, to come out on top. Harbaugh has not shown he can win bowl games and the fact that JJ McCarthy has not shown he can win the game with his arm will play out on this one as I expect Bama to make Michigan beat them through the air.

The Rams have scored 30 or more in four of their last five games, and in the only game they didn’t hit the 30 mark, they scored 28. New York will go with Tyrod Taylor under center for this game. The Giants have not scored more than 20 points in consecutive games this season. The Giants offense has been bad all season and I am not convinced Taylor will make that big of a difference. The Ram's offense has been firing on all cylinders and I expect them to continue that success against the Giant's defense, The Rams should be able to move the ball on the ground and through the air and I expect them to control the game from the start.

And won the NFC North last week. The Cowboys have dropped two straight and consecutive games and are a game behind the Eagles.

Yes, the Cowboys are 7-0 at home but outside of the Eagles, they have not played a tough home schedule. Dallas has struggled against tough competition this season and comes into this game losing to the Bills and Dolphins the last two weeks. The Cowboys are just 18th in the NFL stopping the run and the Lions have one of the top rushing attacks with Gibbs and Montgomery. The Lions are 5-2 on the road this season. The Lions are also 3-1 in prime-time games this season. Goff will be playing indoors which is a plus and the Lion's offensive line is healthy. This is too many points for what should be a close game.

The SEC and Big 10 battle for Conference supremacy when Ole Miss takes on Penn State in the Peach Bowl. Both teams come into this game at 10-2. Ole Miss comes into this one at 6-4-2 ATS. The Rebels were untouched by the transfer portal offensively. They will be without their starting right tackle due to injury. Jaxson Dart threw for 2,985 yards with 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. Quinshon Judkins rushed for 1,052 yards. They had only one opt-out on a defense that gave up 23.7 points a game this season. Penn State went 9-3 ATS this season. Penn State had two key opt-outs on the defensive side in DE Chop Robinson and CB Johnny Dixon. Drew Allar threw for 2,336 yards with 23 touchdowns and just one pick. Kaytron Allen rushed for 851 yards. Penn State’s defensive ranked third in points allowed at 11.8 points per game. They will be without DC Manny Diaz who left for Duke. I am looking for a close game in this one. I think Big 10 defenses are a little over. overrated as there are not a lot of explosive offenses in the conference that you have to face on a weekly basis. In a QB battle between Dart and Alla, I am choosing Dart all day long. Penn State’s offense struggles against quality defenses and i also think the losses of Robinson on the d-line and Dixon at cornerback will hurt the defense. I like Ole Miss to win outright but take the points. Play on Ole Miss. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Like the Kings, the Hawks have a high output offense which ranks third in the league in points per game but like the Kings, they are poor on the defensive end where they rank 27th in points per game.

The Hawks have the worst record in the league against the spread and are four games under 500 at home this season. Atlanta has only covered seven of their 30 games this season.

QB Steve Angeli had little playing time this season, going 19-25 for 272 yards with four TDs and an INT. Both teams have been decimated by the transfer portal and opt-outs. Both teams will be going with backup quarterbacks and probably running backs depending on whether or not Martinez plays.

On the defensive end, the Browns are giving up 22 points per game. New York is 7-3 SU and ATS in the last ten games.

Over their last eight games, the Jets are 1-7 ATS. In their last nine games, Cleveland is 7-2 ATS and 3-0 ATS over their last three. At the end of the season, motivation can become a factor and the Browns have all the motivation in this one. The Browns can clinch a playoff spot with a win, while the Jets are hoping this nightmare season will be over soon.

The Pacers have not played as well since the in-season tournament but they continue to make shots at a high level. Chicago's offense has not been great this season but has been playing better, but the Bulls don't have a lockdown defense, and will not be able to keep up offensively.

The offense averaged 25.0 points per game. On the defensive end, they gave up 29.5 points per game. The Mustangs are the better team and should be able to dominate on offense even with Jennings at quarterback. Patrick Garwo is one of Boston College’s best players but he neutered the portal which will limit their offense even more. BC has caught a break with the weather and it is very mild in Boston for late December. SMU has a lot of weapons and now Jennings has had a month to prepare for this game and work with the offense. I like SMU in this game as BC did not look good closing out the season and the Mustangs have more to play for. Play on SMU. This is a 3% play | |||||||

Louisville has a top-ranked defense and as they say, defense travels. USC hasn’t had much of a defense either on the road or at home. The Trojans will be facing the Louisville defense with a backup quarterback and runningback. When going with a quarterback that hasn’t seen a lot of action, teams turn to the running game but USC will be going up against the 14th-ranked Cardinals rush D. Louisville will also be missing key portions of their offense but will still have veteran QB Jack Plummer. Key Louisville players are entering the NFL draft but will look to improve their stock worth here. USC not only lost Williams for this game but also their top running back, their receiver with the most touchdowns, and a starting cornerback will miss this game as well. They are also missing extra pieces on defense that were not very good when at full strength. USC went 3-9 ATS this season. USC has only covered once since September 23rd. With the advantage at quarterback and defense for Louisville. I like them to win and cover over an unmotivated USC team. Play on Louisville. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The W. Virginia Mountaineers has not been hit as hard in terms of opt-outs and portal transfers as Carolina has. When you lose your quarterback who is projected to be the no.1 or 2 pick in the draft, your offense is going to take a hit. Harrell will be making his first career start for the Tar Heels. The freshman quarterback will also be without some of the team’s top weapons. West Virginia will have pretty much all of their starters for this one. Down the stretch, the Tar Heels went 1-4 ATS over their last five games while the Mountaineers went 3-2 ATS over the same span. Without Maye and Walker going for the Heels, the Mountaineers had a significant advantage. I look for West Virginia to try to run and succeed in running the ball against the Heels' 89th-ranked run defense. North Carolina always has the ability to just outscore everyone but that ability is gone in this one. Take the Mountaineers in this one. Play on W. Virginia. This is a 3% play | |||||||

They have given up at least 124 points in four of their last five games. Detroit has lost by at least eight points in nine of their last ten games. The Pistons haven’t shown me that they can play a consistent four quarters. Play on Brooklyn. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-25-23 | Ravens +6.5 v. 49ers | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a potential Super Bowl matchup in February. The Ravens match up well against the 49ers on both sides of the ball which makes this number a little high for a game that could come down to who has the ball last. Baltimore has been favored in all but one of their games this season. The one time they were an underdog, they won outright. The Ravens are 4th in scoring offense and 1st in scoring defense. The 49ers are good and playing really well at the moment but let's not forget they did lose three in a row earlier in the season. Baltimore’s defense will give Purdy and the offense some problems. I am taking the points in this one. Play on Baltimore. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-24-23 | Lions -2.5 v. Vikings | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
The Lions played their most complete game of the season and possibly in years last week against the Broncos. They look to clinch the NFC North with a win. Detroit has proven they can win on the road and with a backup for the Vikings at quarterback they should have confidence coming into this one. Detroit has one of the league's best running games and should be able to control the ball on the ground, which will open up their passing game. Detroit has covered the spread in two of their last three games, while Minnesota hasn't covered in any of their last three. Detroit has covered in five straight against the Vikings. Detroit’s offense is not as good on the road, but they will be indoors for this one. Detroit has its eye on the prize and will come away with the NFC North title. Play on Detroit. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-23-23 | Bills -11.5 v. Chargers | 24-22 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Bills go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Bills won two straight and three of their last four. They have scored at least 30 points in three of those games. They are in the top 10 in passing and running the ball. They will be facing a Chargers defense that does not defend the ball well and is worse against the pass. The Chargers fired coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco, They have lost five of their last six games including two straight and three straight home games. They have not scored more than 20 points in four of their last five games. Easton Stick will be under center so don’t expect much from their passing game and their running game is poor. It is hard to see the Chargers getting up for this game after quitting last week against the Raiders. Lay the points with the Bills. Play on Buffalo. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-23-23 | Bengals v. Steelers +3 | 11-34 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
We have an AFC North showdown with huge playoff implications between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cincinnati comes into this contest at 8-6 and sixth in AFC while Pittsburgh is currently 7-7 and sits 10th in the playoff hunt. The Bengals Jake Browning has guided the Bengals to three straight wins after losing his first start at quarterback. The Steelers have lost three in a row and will be going with a new quarterback. TJ Watt leads the NFL in sacks and should be able to apply pressure to Browning and cause some bad throws. The Bengals will be without Chase in this one. It is hard to believe Tomlin could be in trouble, I look for Pittsburgh to rely on their defense and eke out a win. Play on Pittsburgh. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Denver Nuggets go on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Denver has won five of six and three straight on the road. The Nuggets score 115.2 points per game and shoot 49.0 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 110.3 points per game and their opponents shoot 46.2 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from deep. The Nets put up 115.6 points per game and are shooting 46.5 percent shooting from the field and 38.4 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they give up 115.3 points per game. Brooklyn started the season 17-5-1 ATS but has lost four straight ATS. The Nets are too reliant on the three-ball. The Nuggets can take away the three-ball and are tough to score on at the rim. The Nuggets shouldn’t have a problem scoring against the Nets defense. I am looking at the Nuggets to roll in this one.

The San Antonio Spurs head to the Windy City to face the Chicago Bulls. The Spurs have lost 20 of 21 games and do not have Wembanyama back who is battling an ankle injury. Chicago is coming off a win over the Lakers last night and will be on the second game of a back-to-back. The Bulls have won seven of their last ten even though they have been without Zach LaVine. Chicago has been playing better basketball without LaVine and has covered the spread in eight of nine games. The Spurs do not have the perimeter defenders to slow down Derozan and White.

Utah is allowing 115.0 points in their last four games while Detroit has been torched for 132.0 points in their last five games. This is a second game of a back-to-back for the Jazz but it won't matter. Detroit can’t stop anybody on defense and struggles to score. Play on Utah This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Boston heads west to take Golden State in NBA action. The Celtics are 20-5 this season and they have the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics have won five straight games and 8 of their last 9. Golden State is just 12-14 overall and they are in 11th place in the Western Conference. The Warriors have won back-to-back games. Boston is putting up 117.6 points per game and they shoot 47.8% from the field and 37.2% from behind the arc. On the defensive end, they are giving up 108.5 points per game and their opponents shoot 44.5% from the field and 36.5% from behind the arc. Kristaps Prozingis is questionable for Tuesday’s game. Golden State is putting up 115.9 points per game and they are shooting 45.5% from the field and 37.1% from seep. On the defensive end, the Warriors are giving up 115.7 points per game and their opponents are shooting 46.5% from the field and 34.9% from deep. Paul is questionable to play on Tuesday. Gary Payton II is still out with an injury while Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely. The Warriors have struggled this season with injuries and suspensions and have not found their rhythm. Golden State has not been shooting as well as past teams and the Celtic’s defense will make things difficult. Without Green, they will struggle to slow down Tatum and Brown. Golden State is also just 3-9 against the spread when playing at home. Play on Boston. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The San Francisco 49ers have a division matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. San Francisco comes into this game at 10-3 while Arizona is currently 3-10. San Francisco has won five in a row. The Cardinals were in the running for the top draft pick but for some reason, they have decided to win two of their last four games. San Fran has been blowing teams out over their winning streak, with an average margin in their wins being 19.4 points. They have the league’s third-best offense with 29.2 points a game. They will be facing a Cardinals defense that ranks 30th with 25.5 points allowed per game. San Francisco is 4-2 ATS in their last six matchups against the Cardinals. San Fran is in a fight for the top spot in the NFC and even though they are in the driver's seat they can’t let up on the gas. Play on San Fran. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-17-23 | Falcons -2.5 v. Panthers | 7-9 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
The Carolina Panthers come in at 1-12 and unfortunately, they don’t own the No. 1 draft pick in the upcoming draft. The Atlanta Falcons come in at 6-7 and are hungry for a win. The Buccaneers, Falcons, and Saints are tied for the NFC South so all games count for the Falcons. Atlanta will rely on their defense which ranks 12th in scoring at 20.7 points per game. They give up 3.9 yards per rush (10th) and 6.6 yards per pass attempt (8th) which will be tough for the struggling Panthers offense to overcome. Atlanta's offense scored just 15 points last week and has exceeded 20 points in four of their past five games. On the season, they have put up 19.3 points a game as they have spent the season trying to find a consistent quarterback. Carolina’s offense has struggled to integrate a rookie into an offense with no weapons or offensive line. They are putting up just 15.2 points per game and have failed to score a touchdown in 3 games this season. The Panthers' defense spends too much time on the field and gets tired late. They have given up 26.2 points per game. The Falcons score 19.3 points per game and should find success against a Panther defense that allows 26.2 points per game. The Falcons took the first game of the season by 14 and I can't see how Carolina has made significant improvement. Only two teams score fewer points than the Panthers. I look for Atlanta to move the ball on the ground with Robinson and pick their spots through the air. Take Atlanta to win this game. Play on Atlanta. This is a 5% play. | |||||||
12-17-23 | Bears +3 v. Browns | 17-20 | Push | 0 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears somehow find themselves in the mix for the playoffs as they are 13th in the NFC with a 5-8 record. They do come in on a two-game winning streak. The Cleveland Browns have been playing well despite a ton of injuries. They are the fifth seed in the AFC with an 8-5 record. The Bears' offense is putting up 20.8 points a game. They are fourth in the league with 138.0 rushing yards a game and will need to establish the run to minimize the Brown’s pass rush. The defense is giving up 23.8 points per game but has been playing better since Montez Sweat joined the defense. They have allowed just 23 combined points over the last two games. The Cleveland Browns are putting up 22.2 points a game. They are a dominant running team ranking seventh in the NFL. Joe Flacco has been playing well since joining the team. This defense has allowed just 20.9 points a game but will be without their leading tackler and second-best pass rusher. Chicago is allowing 16.8 points in their previous four games while Cleveland is giving up a remarkable 30.7 points in their last three games. Chicago can continue winning games with a chance to make the playoffs and be locked into the top pick in the NFL draft. Cleveland will be without two top defensive players, both offensive tackles and a guard. Sweat has made a huge difference to the Bears pass rush and Flacco is not that mobile. I think the Bears' defense will be the difference and the Bears have a great chance to win this game outright. Play on Chicago. This is a 5% play | |||||||

The Texas A&M Aggies will take on the fourth-ranked Houston Cougars in the Halal Guys showcase. Texas A&M is coming off a loss to Memphis that dropped them out of the top 25. The Aggies are 2-1 on the road this season. Houston has won their home games by an average of 36 points. Texas A&M is 2-3 in their last five games. Texas A&M is putting up 76.6 points a game and is shooting 43.2% shooting from the field and just 28.3% from three. Texas A&M is giving up 69 points a game while their opponents shoot 42.9% from the field and 35.2% from three. Houston is putting up 76.4 points a game and is shooting 43.6% from the field and 34.7% from deep. On the defensive end, the Cougars are giving up just 49.7 points and their opponents are shooting 35% shooting from the field and 27.5% shooting from deep. The Aggies have lost three of their last five as their offense has been inconsistent and their defense has not been shutting teams down as it did to start this season. Houston is one of the most experienced teams in the country. Houston has not allowed 70 points or more yet this season. Houston is the better offensive team and the vastly better defensive team. The Aggies rely on the three and I don’t think they will be able to shoot well enough to stay in this one. Play on Houston. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

UConn is one of the top teams in the country and while Gonzaga is a very good team I have them a notch below the Huskies. Both teams score in the mid to upper 80s, and on the defensive end, they are allowing in the mid 60’s. Both shot over 50% from the field as well. Gonzaga had to go against a big man in the middle in Zach Edey but it did not go well. Edey had 25 points and 14 rebounds and even though Donovan Clingan is not Edey, he will cause problems for Gonzaga around the rim. UConn has three over 40% of their shots, connecting on 70% of them. UCONN has the outside shooters to stretch the defense and open the inside for Clingan. UCONN gets a big win here. Play on UCONN. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

UNLV has lost three games as a favorite and now plays their toughest competition of the season. Creighton puts up 86.8 points per game. And allow just 63.4 points a game.

Even though this is a back-to-back situation for the old Lakers, I still like them in this game. The Lakers are solid on the defensive end while the Spurs have struggled to score. The Spurs have struggled on the defensive end and even if not everyone plays for LA, they have enough offensive weapons to score in this game.

Philadelphia is led by Joel Embiid with 33.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 6.4 assists a game. Tyrese Maxey adds 27 points and 6.7 assists. As a team, they are putting up 122.0 points and are shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 113.2 points and their opponents are shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from deep. Detroit started the season by winning two of their first three games and have not won a game since, losing 20 straight. Detroit is 8-14-1 ATS this season. Detroit is led by Cade Cunningham with 22 points and 7.3 assists a game. Jalen Duren adds 12.6 points and 10.9 rebounds but is out for this game with an ankle injury. Detroit is putting up 108.7 points a game and they are shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 34.0 percent deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 118.8 points a game and their opponents shoot 48.4 percent from the field and 37.0 percent from deep. Outside of Cunningham, Detroit doesn’t have a reliable scorer. Philadelphia has Embiid and Maxey that can score over 25 and have depth with 3 others scoring 15. The Pistons are just 1-11 straight-up at home but have covered four of those. Embiid should have a huge night, as Detroit’s interior defense has been weakened by injuries to Jalen Duren and Marvin Bagley III. Detroit could keep this one close early, but I have no faith in them keeping it up for the whole game. Play on Philadelphia. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

On the defensive end, they are giving up 68.9 points per game and their opponents are shooting 38.9% from the field and 34.5% from three-point range. Tyler Thomas leads the Pride with 23.6 points per game. The Blue Devils snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Charlotte on Saturday.

On the defensive end, they are gigging up 65.9 points per game, and their opponents are shooting 42.4% from the field and 31.1% from deep. Kyle Filipowski leads Duke with 17.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game this season. Hofstra loves to shoot the three-ball, making 11.2 threes each game. That won't be easy to replicate against the Duke defense and playing at Cameron Indoor for the first time. Duke has a huge advantage in the paint and has four guards they can throw at Thomas to slow him down and make it difficult for him to get going. Duke has covered some big spreads this season and were 15-point favorites last time out and easily covered that number. I expect them to cover this number as well. Play on Duke.

Luka Donic is putting up 31.9 points a game. In the game Memphis won, Doncic didn’t play in that game. The Mavericks have struggled on the defensive end this season so don’t expect a defensive struggle. The Mavs will be without Kyrie Irving, Grant Williams, Josh Green, and Maxi Kleber. The Grizzlies have struggled on the offensive end with Ja Morant being suspended and Marcus Smart, Brandon Clarke, Steven Adams, and Luke Kennard being injured. They do play better on the defensive end. This is a good matchup for the Mavericks. Their offense should be able to put up points and even though their defense is not great they have held Memphis to just 109 points a game this season. Dallas has won two in a row. Memphis is tied with the Spurs for the second-fewest wins in the West and they only have one home win. Memphis won without Doncic on the floor, now that he is playing, the Grizzlies won’t be so lucky. Play on Dallas. This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Another Thursday night in the NFL and again it is one of those for die-hard betters and not much else. The New England Patriots are on the road to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots lost 6-0 to the Chargers last week and Pittsburgh lost 24-10 to Arizona. Nothing has gone right for the Patriots this season. They have lost five in a row and have been held to seven points or less for three straight games and five times this season. Whether it be Bailey Zappe or Mac Joned, the quarterback position has been dreadful this season. The Patriots are 23rd in passing offense, 22nd in the league in rushing offense, and 32nd in scoring offense at 12.3 points per game. On the defensive side, they are 16th in scoring defense at 21.2 points per game. The Steelers are 7-5 on the season and they hold the top wild-card spot in the AFC with four teams with 7-5 records. The Steelers rank 28th in passing offense, 14th in rushing offense, and 28th in scoring offense at 16 points per contest. On the defensive side, they rank 6th in scoring defense, giving up 19.1 points per game. Both teams have not gotten much from their quarterbacks and now the Steelers will be without Pickett for the next couple of weeks. I am not sure it will be any worse. New England’s offense has been terrible all season coming in last in the league in scoring. For what it is worth Pittsburgh has at least been able to move the ball on offense the last couple of weeks. It doesn't matter if it is Zappe or Jones, the loss of Stevenson is a big detriment to the Patriots' offense. I don’t see how they move the ball against the Pittsburgh defense. The Chargers only needed six points to get the win and I think the Steelers will score a little more and shut out the Patriots once again. Play on Pittsburgh. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
12-06-23 | Texas +8.5 v. Marquette | 65-86 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
We have a good BIG 12-BIG EAST matchup tonight with the Marquette Golden Eagles taking on the Texas Longhorns. Texas ranks 43rd in points scored at 81.3 points per game. On the defensive end, they are giving up 65.9 points per game, which ranks 58th in the country. Marquette lost their first game of the season to Wisconsin last time out. Wisconsin had a huge advantage on the boards which led to the win. Marquette is putting up 79.3 points per game which is 63rd in the country. They have not reached this number in two of their last three games. On the defensive side end, they are giving up 67 points per game, which ranks 74th. Marquette struggled on the boards against Wisconsin and I think the same thing will happen against Texas. Texas can defend both the perimeter and the paint and I look for them to cause Marquette some problems on that end of the floor. Former Texas head coach Shaka Smart will look to get revenge against his former team in this one. Both teams play at s slower pace which will limit possessions. I like Texas to keep this one close at the end. Take the points with Texas. Play on Texas. This is a 3% play. |
