01-24-20 | Suns v. Spurs OVER 227.5 | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Suns/Spurs Over Bullet Analysis: Both teams are on decent runs with the Suns splitting their L14 overall and on a 6-1 ATS road run. The Spurs have won and covered their last three and are coming around for Pop. For our purposes, the Over is 5-2 in the Suns L7 road games, the Over is 7-2 in the Spurs L9 home games, and the Over has cashed in the last three series games. Go with the flow. |

01-24-20 | Yale -5 v. Brown | 73-62 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on the Yale Bulldogs Bullet Analysis: Yale looks to be head and shoulders the best team in the Ivy and will be a tough out in the first weekend of the Big Dance if they get there. The Bulldogs are 9-1 L10 and just beat Brown 70-56 last Friday, knocking down 10 of their 24 treys. Yale is also 10-1 L11 in the series, No.3 in the country in FG% defense, and facing a Bear team that's 3-7 L10 with just one win all year inside the RPI top 100 and that being Rhode Island. Even on the road, hard to see Yale not winning by 10+. |
|||||||
01-24-20 | Kent State v. Buffalo -3 | 70-66 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on the Buffalo Bulls Bullet Analysis: Buffalo has won four straight and the Bulls are a run and gun outfit that depends on its perimeter shooting. Buff averaging 83.8 ppg. during current run and plays at the No.5 fastest pace in the country. Kent got off to a fast start but the Flashes have lost three straight and are just 3-11 L14 in the series. We'll grab the home team on the up escalator laying the small points. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Indiana | 63-67 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on Michigan State Bullet Analysis to follow: This is a key Big 10 game for both teams, especially Michigan State which has been a monster on its home floor but somewhat sketchy on the road including a 29-point loss at Purdue. Sparty has won 9 of 10 but lost 2 of 3 on this floor so expecting Izzo and Co. to bring absolute top effort tonight vs. Hoosiers. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Wizards v. Cavs -2 | 124-112 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Cleveland Cavaliers The Wiz are in a tough spot, playing the second of B2B nights after losing in Miami in OT last night. Washington is 1-4 in its L5 and has lost 3 of 4 to the Cavs who look to snap a five-game skid of their own. The Cavs have not played since Monday and get one of their key pieces back in John Henson who gives them 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds a game off the bench. Cavs get much needed win at The Quick. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | Belmont +2 v. Murray State | 75-85 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Belmont Bruins Belmont is 7-3 L10 in this series but .... Murray has knocked the Bruins out of the OVC tournament the last two years. Both teams are very similar in that they've won 5 and 6 games in-a-row respectively, are undefeated in OVC play, and have played the No.352 and No.353 (the two easiest) strength of schedules in the country. Belmont has won their last two visits to this floor by 12-13 and have won both their conference road games by 7 and 25 points. Murray off tough road OT win in a game Monday with a team they should have beat by 20. Belmont 78-70. |
|||||||
01-23-20 | North Alabama -5.5 v. Kennesaw State | 78-58 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on North Alabama Bullet Analysis to follow: It's not easy to lay points on the road with a team that is 1-9 with suitcase but we'll do it here against a 1-17 Kennesaw State Owl team that is likely the worst team in Div-I basketball. North Alabama is what it is but generally gives you a solid effort night in and night out and figures to maul a KSU team that is 0-5 in the very weak Atlantic Sun with four losses by 12+ points. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Spurs v. Pelicans OVER 237 | 121-117 | Win | 101 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Totals Play of the Day is on the Over Bullet Analysis: I'm not sure that I've ever played (in 30+ years) an NBA regular season game OVER this high of total. That said, this number could be cheap in the debut of Zion Williamson. The OVER is 8-3 in the Spurs L11 road games and the Pelicans are on a 10-0-1 OVER run in their L11 games of all kinds. Zion averaged 23 ppg on 71% shooting in the preseason before injuring his knee. He'll be on a 20 minute clock for his first few games but still time to do plenty of damage. In a game that figures to play out like an All-Star with pace, look for this one to finish in the 250's. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Lakers -11.5 v. Knicks | Top | 100-92 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Lakers Bullet Analysis: The Lakers were waxed at Boston 139-107 in last in a game that featured the return of Anthony Davis and plenty of off-the-court distractions. Looking for a much more focused and determined Lake Show here at the mecca, MSG, playing a team they beat by 30 at the Staples Center just two weeks ago. The Knicks are 2-8 L10 and as if things couldn't be worse, the bear has been poked. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Michigan | 72-63 | Win | 100 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Penn State Bullet Analysis: The Nits broke out of a 1-3 funk with a nice win over Ohio State in last. The Nits are 0-3 on the but are in a nice spot against a Michigan team that is 4-6 after a 7-0 start. PSU can play and has a big shot to go dancing if they take care of their own business and win games like these. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Arkansas +3.5 v. Mississippi State | 70-77 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Arkansas Bullet Analysis: The Razors are 2-2 after 12-1 start. Arkansas was awful vs. Kentucky in their last but still had a three-point lead late and started jacking threes and committing terrible fouls. Not much bad to say about Miss State who plays good defense, offensive rebounds, and has won the last three in the series but … a more focused Razorback team in triple revenge and is supremely coached by Eric Musselman wins straight up here. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Western Kentucky +1.5 v. Marshall | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Western Kentucky Bullet Analysis: WKY is on the improve and the Hilltoppers have won three straight. Western is just 1-4 in their L5 visits to Huntington but this year's Herd outfit is very ordinary and just .500 at home. WKY is a veteran bunch that understands the importance of a win here as the team meet again Saturday in a rare CBB home-and-home. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Samford v. Furman OVER 150.5 | 78-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner is on Samford/Furman Over Bullet Analysis: We're going to play a rare total here that figures to play of like one of these NBA video game scores. Samford is No.332 in defense allowing a tic under 80 ppg. and faces an ultra-efficient Furman team that is No.22 in offensive FG%. Lots of early steam on the road team to cover the big number so … assuming the Paladins get theirs and they will on home floor, Samford will need do it's part to stay in a track meet that could fall in the 160s or 170s. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Air Force +14 v. Utah State | 47-72 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Air Force Falcons Bullet Analysis: The Flyboys won the first go around 79-60, shocking the Aggies in Fort Collins by knocking down 58% of their shots. Utah State has won the last five series meetings on this floor by an average of better than 20 ppg but this has been a nightmare season for the Aggies who have lost 4 of 5 in a weak MWC, shooting just 24% from beyond the arc. Air Force is an experienced veteran group and can ball. Take the points. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Wake Forest v. Clemson -9 | 68-71 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Clemson Tigers Bullet Analysis: Clemson has beaten the Demon Deacons 11 straight times and off a couple of big ACC wins. Upset alert ??? Don't think so. The Tigers look to be fully recovered after a 1-6 late December skid and ACC home favorite of 8+ are 8-2. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Butler v. Villanova -3.5 | 61-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Villanova Wildcats Bullet Analysis: Jay Wright started with the No.332 most experienced team in the country at the start of the year but after some early rocky results, the Cats have won four straight and 10 of 11. Nova has won four straight over Butler who has lost its last two after a 15-1 start allowing 78 and 79 points. Villanova has won its three Big East home games by 6+ and finds a way here. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Illinois +5.5 v. Purdue | 79-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on Illinois Bullet Analysis: This is a big revenge spot for Purdue who is 8-1 at home and figures to be salty from 63-37 loss at Champaign on January 6th. That said, too many points to a dangerous Illini outfit that has won four straight and is quite simply the better team. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Wichita State -4.5 v. South Florida | 56-43 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Wichita State Bullet Analysis: The Shockers have lost two straight off 15-1 start, unable to make a shot and scoring 53-54 points respectively. South Florida has lost 6 of 8 and lost 54-41 to Wichita on this floor last year. The Shockers creating turnover on a tic under 25% of opponent possessions and should strangle the USF offense to get back on track here. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Weber State +4 v. Portland State | 76-92 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus play on the Weber State Wildcats We're going to channel our inner Harold "The Show" Arceneaux here (old-timers will remember) and take Weber State to win straight up. The Wildcats are in a down year and this proud program will finish with a losing record for the first-time in forever. That said, Weber is 8-1 last nine in the series and has won their last three visits to the Rose City. Portland is 2-4 straight up last six and their Big Sky opponents are shredding the Vikings at 58% INSIDE the arc in conference play. Weber wins straight up. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Lakers -2 v. Celtics | 107-139 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's Holiday Sunday Late Steam Report is on the Los Angles Lakers The Lakers have won 10 of 11 and have covered their last four roadies, most of it without the services of Anthony Davis who is a great payer but an injury waiting to happen. Boston has hit a flat spot and is 2-6 straight up in its last eight and is also just 2-6 ATS in its last eight home games at TD Arena. These are the type of games Lebron lives for he'll be featured tonight in the MLK holiday game which won't be lost on him either. The Lakers are deep and their role players have established themselves through the half-way mark. Lakers by 10. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | High Point v. USC Upstate -6.5 | Top | 70-62 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the USC Upstate Spartans Slim pickins on this abbreviated MLK car has us in the Big South today. The High Point Panthers are not much going 4-14 overall and 4-12 on the year ATS. The Point is 1-9 straight up on the road and faces a somewhat underrated SCUS team that is 7-11 on a schedule that was front loaded with away games. The Spartans will start making those up over the next few weeks. They're 5-2 at home and a money making 10-5 ATS on the year and we expect them to take care of business in a big way here. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | 76ers -2 v. Nets | 117-111 | Win | 100 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Power Pack winner on the Philadelphia 76ers The 76ers are 0-6-1 ATS in their L7 road games but are unencumbered by a big impost here. The Nets are in complete freefall at 2-10 L12 and just 1-4 SU since Kyrie The Savior returned to the fold. Brooklyn is actually 2-5 ATS in its L7 home games and has had no recent success against Philly going 1-5 straight up. In a game they basically just need to win, take the 76ers. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Raptors -8 v. Hawks | 122-117 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Toronto Raptors The Raptors have won three straight and 4 of 5. They've won 8 straight in the series (6-2 ATS) and have covered 5 of their last 7 trips to Hotlanta. The Hawks were beat 136-103 by the Pistons 48 hours ago in their last home game so nothing to recommend on the home dog here. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Loyola-Chicago -3.5 v. Illinois State | Top | 62-50 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Loyola Chicago The dog is 10-1 in the L11 series meetings but Illinois State is 1-4 in five MVC games with an inexplicable win over Northern Iowa. Loyola is really starting to play well winning 8 of its L10 games and is 4-1 in conference play with a three-point loss at a tough Drake outfit the only blemish. Most importantly for our purposes, the Ramblers play good pressure defense that creates turnovers in 24% of opponent possession and are No.2 in the country in shooting percentage inside the arc which would indicate they are getting some very good shot. Lay the points with the small road favorite. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Pacific v. Santa Clara -3.5 | Top | 80-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Santa Clara Broncos Strangely enough, we still don't know what we have with the 15-4 Santa Clara Broncos who are 14-0 at home and 1-4 ATS on the road. That said, they have played five brutal road games with losses at Gonzaga, Stanford, San Fran with the only red-flag being Nevada. Pacific is a counterfeit 15-5. I've seen this team a couple of times and the Tigers don't rate very high on the eye test. Santa Clara was embarrassed by 50 at the Zags mid-week and overall have been ATS monsters. Back on track here with double-digit win. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Raptors -5 v. Wolves | 122-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Toronto Raptors The Raptors have won three of four after a mini-funk and are 5-2-1 ATS in their L8 road games. Toronto has also won three straight in the series and face a Minnesota outfit in complete free fall that has lost four straight and on speed dial to blow up the entire roster including KAT. The T-Wolves are 3-14 ATS in their L17 at the Target Center ... nothing to recommend on the home team here. Toronto by 10. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kansas -5.5 v. Texas | 66-57 | Win | 100 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Kansas Jayhawks Kansas is 3-1 in the Big 12 with road wins of 16 and 24 points. The Jayhawks are 16-2 straight up in their L18 in the series and 4-1 in their L5 visits to Austin. Texas is just 1-3 vs. teams in the Top 60 with that win over a mediocre at best Purdue team. The Longhorns might keep this one close early but ultimately, Kansas has its way. Kansas 80-66. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Butler -3.5 v. DePaul | 66-79 | Loss | -109 | 0 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Butler Bulldogs "Buy signs" on DePaul were misguided as the Blue Devils are 0-4 out of the box in the Big East after going 12-1 vs. the No.266 strength of schedule in non-conference play. Butler is 6-1 L7, losing its last to a very good Seton Hall team, no shame there. Bulldogs are an experienced veteran team and take care of business here. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Cavs v. Grizzlies -8 | 109-113 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies Looking to break out of this awful NBA funk, thank you for your patience. The Cavaliers are 2-7 straight up in their L9 games overall and 5-10 ATS in their L15 road tries. They have covered five straight against the Grizz but these are two very different teams. Memphis has won and covered six straight and is 8-1 ATS in its L9 home games. With Zion close to making his debut for New Orleans, JA Morant has become the prohibitive ROY favorite in Sin City and and has turned out to be a solid scorer and distributor. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Brown v. Yale -10.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is the Yale Bulldogs The Ivy teams come off a long hiatus with Brown not having played in 15 days, Yale 18. The Bears have lost 9 of 10 in the series and 9 straight on this floor. Yale is ready to rock after having played a tough non-conference schedule (No.35) and owning the No.4 ranked FG% defense in college basketball. Brown turns the ball over on better than 23% of their possessions which just won't work here trying to trade points with the Elis. Yale 76-55. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 134-131 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Denver Nuggets Denver is 14-4 in its L18 games and their 14 wins since December 12th are the best in the NBA. Did a double-take at this number as a the Warriors have lost none straight and are just 1-3 ATS in their L4 home games offering little resistance. Denver has lost three straight versus the Warriors and while this Golden State outfit is a D-League squad at best, a Nugget blow out or at least dominating win would have to be a good thing for the collective Nugget mindset. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | North Florida -1 v. Jacksonville | Top | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the North Florida Ospreys North Florida figured to be a player in the Atlantic Sun this year and played a tough non-conference schedule, giving teams like Florida and Dayton all they wanted. The Ospreys won their first three conference games but are off a brutal home loss to NJIT in their last with Sun kingpin Liberty on deck. Jacksonville is just 8-10, 4-3 at home, and 1-2 in conference play. The Dolphins scored just 37 points in 16 point loss to Liberty in last and don't have much fire power under normal circumstances. No excuses for Norther Florida here. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Stanford +1 v. UCLA | 74-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Stanford Cardinal The Tree is the surprise team in the West this year, going 14-2 with their only losses to Butler and Kansas despite starting the year with the No.335 (352) most experienced team in the country. The Bruins are also very young and with a new head coach, were spanked in rivalry game with USC in last. This is a contender/pretender game for Stanford here and like the Cards to win by 10. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Auburn -1.5 v. Alabama | 64-83 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Auburn Tigers 15-0 Auburn looks to be for real despite yet to be tested on the road. The Tigers rolled through their first three SEC games winning by 12-4-22 points and are the No.8 offensive rebounding team in the country. Bama is a .500 club in almost all aspects and the reason why is that the Tide get 40% of their points from beyond the arc despite shooting a tic better than 34%. Lay it. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Vanderbilt v. Arkansas -13.5 | 55-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arkansas Razorbacks Eric Musselman goes to the head on the class as an early COY candidate for the great job he's done with the Razors. He's taken a bunch of loose cannons from the prior regime and seamlessly have them playing hounding defense while being unselfish on offense. Jerry Stackhouse found the Vandy cubbard bare and will take some time to get some players in. The Razorbacks roll roll in wire-to-wire fashion. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Miami-FL +8.5 v. NC State | 63-80 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Miami, Fla Hurricanes This is a lot of points to give to a team that is 3-1 in true road games with the lone loss at Louisville. The Canes also won their last the two visits to Raleigh and have are 3-1 L4 in the series. The Wolf Pack have split their six games and are just 3-5 against the RPI top 100, not inspiring much confidence they'll cover near double-digits against a quality well-coached team like Miami. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Creighton +3 v. Georgetown | 80-83 | Push | 0 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Creighton Blue Jays Analysis to follow |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Stony Brook -7.5 v. Hartford | 65-68 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack Winner is on the Stony Brook Seawolves Probably wouldn't think about laying this type of points with the Wolves on the road but they've won five straight including their first three conference game, one of those a dominating blowout win against America East kingpin Vermont. Hartford is a 50-50 proposition playing against a schedule that is half as tough as Stony Brook. Seawolves 82-68. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Suns v. Hawks UNDER 230.5 | 110-123 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Suns/Hawks Under This is just a flow play on a relatively unappealing NBA card. The Suns are 5-3 in their L8 and playing much better with their full compliment of players. Phoenix has played three straight unders and the low is 8-2 L10 in the series. The Hawks are is a 2-15 L17 free fall with the under 6-3 in their L9 games. A ton of early money has come on the over to the point sending the number to the point that this is big value on the under. The Suns dictate pace here and if the Hawks have anything less than a lights out shooting night, this one won't sniff 230. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Duke -10.5 v. Clemson | 72-79 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Duke Blue Devils This is as much a fade of Clemson as a play on Duke. The Blue Devils are rolling through ACC play going 5-0 and winning their road games by 14-33-9 points. They have Louisville up next but see little chance of lookahead with Dukie depth and Clemson having just won at North Carolina. The Tigers are not much and neither is North Carolina for that matter but it was a historic win for Clemson and they are the team that might be fat and happy. Duke is 10-2 L12 in the series but have lost 2 of 3 on this floor, another reason that Coach K will have his bunch focused. |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Wright State -5.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | 72-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Wright State Raiders Wright State is 13-3 with all three losses by 1 or 2 points or in OT. The Raiders are 5-0 in Summit play, knocking down 45% of their treys, and winning their L3 road games … two by 14+ points. UIC is 5-12 against the No.267 strength of schedule (not much) and turning the ball over a tic under one in every four possessions. Wright was swept in the series last year after winning five prior meetings and will be focused here. Wright gets out early and cruises to a double-digit wire-to-wire win. * Subscribers: I will be having a minor heart procedure done on Monday. For the next few days I may be working off a tablet or laptop in the hospital so analysis might be very brief. Please be patient. With conference play in swing, we'll have a big next three months … bet on it !!! |

01-11-20 | Pelicans +11.5 v. Celtics | 105-140 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the New Orleans Pelicans Things are looking up for the Pelicans who were decimated by injuries early. New Orleans is getting healthier by the day and is 7-2 SU (9-0 ATS) in it's L9 and Zion is close to making his NBA debut. Boston has lost three straight and is 0-4 versus the points in their L4 homies at TD Gardens. Boston is 11-3 SU at home so likely to get a win but shows no "buy sign"" that they'll blow our the red hot Pelicans. Take the points |
|||||||
01-11-20 | UNLV -7 v. Wyoming | 78-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
DMack subscriber bonus play on UNLV Rebs were cooled off at Boise but still played well. Wyoming is a walk it up can't shoot team that will have a lot of problems with the bigger, deeper, and more athletic Rebels. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Arkansas -1.5 v. Ole Miss | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arkansas Razorbacks Bullet Analysis: Musselman has done an amazing job with the Razors who are playing big time pressure defense and creating turnovers on 25% of their opponents possessions. That won't be good for a Rebel team that can't shoot and has really struggled scoring points. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Houston -6.5 v. Tulsa | 61-63 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner on the Houston Cougars Bullet Analysis: The home side is 5-1 SU and ATS L6 in the series but these are clearly two teams headed in opposite directions. Houston has won six straight while Tulsa is 2-5 L7 and just 9-6 overall after facing just the No.261 toughest schedule. Houston improves on a 20-7-1 ATS run as a road favorite. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Baylor +8 v. Kansas | 67-55 | Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Dog Bite of the Week is on the Baylor Bears Bullet Analysis: Kansas is 13-1 L14 in the series and Baylor has lost 12 straight visits to Lawrence but … the Bears have won 11 straight games while holding their last two Big 12 opponents to just 48 ppg. Kansas is good but this is too many points to give athletic Baylor team in a showdown that will likely fall in the 50s. |

01-10-20 | Magic +3.5 v. Suns | 94-98 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Orlando Magic Orlando finally seems to have gotten its act together and has clawed its way to two games below .500 in the "Their for the Taking" East. The Magic probably can't win a home court but to not make the playoffs is inexcusable and starts with winning games like these. Phoenix got off to a quick start but injuries and off the court stuff brought the Suns back to the field and current 1-3 run, 4-9 ATS in L13 home games. Orlando is 4-1 L5 and 5-1 L6 in the series covering four straight on this floor. This appears to be two teams headed in opposite directions and we'll take the visitor on the up escalator to win straight up. |

01-10-20 | Canisius v. Monmouth -4 | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Monmouth Hawks Both team have played a number of close games with opposite results. Canisius has lost five straight including their first three MAAC games by a combined total of nine points. Monmouth is 5-1 L6 with their L4 games decided by four or less. Monmouth has lost four of five in the series so they'll have some added motivation here. The Hawks are a veteran bunch that is 5-1 outside the RPI Top 200 but if they take of the ball (Griiff's forte is forcing turnovers), they should win comfortably here. |

01-09-20 | Minnesota v. Michigan State -12 | 58-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Michigan State Spartans Bullet Analysis: The Golden Gophers have won 3 of 4 but are 0-4 in true road games and lost their last two trips to Lansing by 18 and 24 points. The Spartans are a prototypical Izzo team that started slow but has now won 7 straight, the last four by 18+. Mich State is 7-1 L8 in the series with most of the wins coming by margin. |

01-09-20 | Celtics +2.5 v. 76ers | 98-109 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Boston Celtics Bullet Analysis: The 76ers are 17-2 at home but have lost four of five overall and appear to be ready to blow things up as trade rumors surrounding Ben Simmons abound. The Celts have lost two straight but were 8-1 prior but in a good spot here to get back on track with a strong division win. |
|||||||
01-07-20 | Knicks +13.5 v. Lakers | 87-117 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the NY Knicks The Knicks have been much better since their coaching change. Sure, they are just 4-6 L10 but remember that they were 6-20 before that and for our purposes, they've covered 4 of 5 and 6 of their L8 on the road. As bad as they've been in recent years, the Knicks are even 8-2 straight up against the Lakers in the L10 series games and have covered 4 of their L5 visits to the Staple Center. This is too many points to give to a young team with talent, playing their best ball of the year, and stoked to face Lebron and Anthony Davis in Hollywood. Take the dog. |

01-07-20 | Blazers v. Raptors -2.5 | 101-99 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack NBA Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Toronto Raptors Not sure where this opening number of Toronto -1 came from. The Blazers are in complete free fall losing 6 of 7 and are just 4-8 ATS in their L12 road games. Further, they've lost 8 of the L9 in the series. The Raptors are just 3-4 in their L7 but the teams is battling injuries. This is a tough venue to play at and Toronto is 11-6 L17 as a home fave so they take care of business most of the time. until proven otherwise, we'll be picking our spots to fade Portland when possible. This is one of them. |
|||||||
01-06-20 | Bucks -7 v. Spurs | 104-126 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Milwaukee Bucks The Spurs have righted the ship somewhat in going 8-7 straight up in their L15 games. Prior was not very good and this version of the Spurs is in a rebound and will not make the playoffs in the powerhouse West. Milwaukee is 26-2 L28 and 7-3 ATS in its L10 as a road favorite. The Bucks are 5-1 L6 in the series so their success against San Antonio predates this less talented version of the Spurs. Always worried about the spot, this is the back end of a rare inter-conference home-and-home, the Bucks beating the Spurs 127-118 on Saturday, taking their foot off the pedal of a game they led by 12 after three quarters. The Bucks are at Golden State on Weds so they can expend enough energy to take care of business here. |

01-06-20 | UL - Lafayette v. Appalachian State -7.5 | Top | 81-73 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Appalachian State The Mountaineers have made a living beating up on teams like this. App State swept the Cajuns last year winning by 27-10 points respectively scoring 104 and 90 points. App State saw it's 5-game home court win streak snapped in last by Georgia State, the Mounties first home loss, and the favorite is 5-1 versus teams outside the RPI top 200 which fits here. Lafayette is 5-9 vs. the No.294 ranked schedule and has lost all five true road games, four of those by 12+ points. Both teams play their third game in five nights, further reason to take App State will not also be battling travel. App State by 20. |

01-05-20 | USC +5 v. Washington | 40-72 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the USC Trojans Bullet Analysis: Andy Enfield has done a real nice job with his young team that is 12-2 (Marquette, Temple), won six straight, and is in a triple revenge spot against Washington who is 10-4 overall but just 1-4 playing teams in the RPI top 100. Grab the points but I've sprinkled in some money line as well. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Blazers v. Heat -5.5 | 111-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Miami Heat It might just be time for the Blazers to blow it all up with a top to bottom rebuild. That would include dealing one on the best guard combos in the league is Lillard and Miles. Portland 1-5 L6 and is buried in the West with no end in site. The Heat are 5-2 L& but return home salty after being humiliated by Orlando in their last and figure to be razor sharp start to finish here. |

01-05-20 | IUPU Ft Wayne v. North Dakota -4.5 | 69-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the North Dakota Hawks Bullet Analysis: Fort Wayne was a 12-point upset winner in the Summit League opener but are not very good and the Mastodons are in the bottom 10 in the country in getting to the foul line. North Dakota plays its first year in the Summit at spanked Denver on the road in its opener. The Hawks have played a tough non-conference schedule that should have them well prepared for conference play. NDU with just one bad loss (Campbell) and should have more than enough to handle a team that has been a non-competitive 1-7 on the road this year. North Dakota by double-digits. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Massachusetts v. St. Louis -10 | 80-83 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play winner is on the St Louis Billikens Bullet Analysis: UMass has been a decent bully vs. bottom feeders but haven't blown out a candle playing anyone of quality which includes a 34-point loss to Harvard. St Louis was supposed to be in a rebuild but are way ahead of schedule at 11-3 (Seton Hall, Auburn, Duquense) vs. the No.55 toughest schedule. The Bills have shown no compunction about winning by margin vs. teams they've been able to handle though there have not been many of those games. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Iona v. Monmouth -1.5 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Monmouth Iona's season to this point has been nothing short of horrific. The once proud Gaels started college hoops this season, No.1 in experience but are just 2-9 with wins against equally horrific Stetson and Kennesaw out of the Atlantic Sun. Iona is in the top 50 in the nation turning the ball over and a program that was once a proud shooting team is converting just 28% of it's threes. Monmouth saw it's four games win streak snapped on Friday by giving one away at Siena. The Hawks experienced themselves and 6-6 versus a middle of the road but representative schedule and on the improve. They've played a number of close games (L4 decided by 10 total) and should be well prepared here. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Texas v. Baylor -8.5 | 44-59 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Baylor Bears Two hot teams square off here with Baylor on a 9 game win streak and Texas 6-1 L7 but that's where all similarities end. Texas is 10-2 but their losses are by 16 and 22 to Georgetown and Providence who would both be closes to DD dogs versus the Bears. Baylor has 7-1 L8 in the series and has won three straight on this floor, two times by more than what they need to cover here. Baylor is an elite defensive and rebounding team that forces turnovers on 24% of opponents possessions. Baylor by 14-18. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | NC-Greensboro +1 v. Wofford | 92-98 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Best Bet on NC Greensboro This is a triple revenge game for Greensboro who was beat three times last year by Wofford after winning the prior five games in the series. UNGR is 8-1 L9 with loss coming on a buzzer beater to North Carolina State. The Spartans also played Kansas tough before losing by 12 at Lawrence indicating their quality. Wofford is still pesky (beat North Carolina early on) but at 6-6 looks to be a bit down from recent editions. |
|||||||
01-03-20 | Heat -1 v. Magic | 85-105 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Miami Heat Miami has won 5 of 6 after a flat run. The second of B2B is not their best spot and they have lost 4 of 5 in the series to the Magic but Orlando is struggling in its own right having lost 8 of 12 and are just 3-7 ATS in their L10 at the O-Rena. In this virtual pick'em, Miami (18-3 vs. Eastern Conf, 5-1 Division) will figure out a way. |
|||||||
01-03-20 | Fairfield -2 v. Niagara | 66-75 | Loss | -111 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Fairfield Stags Fairfield is a veteran bunch that plays a slow deliberate pace and hasn't shot the ball well early on. They've faced tough early but have rebounded to win three of their last four against their own kind. Niagara is 2-9 overall and has lost six straight with their wins over Norfolk State and Colgate. The Purple Eagles FG defense in No.343 (out of 352) in the country and have dropped 7 of 9 in the series. Fairfield wins this by double digits. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | St. Mary's -3 v. San Francisco | 69-58 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the St Mary's Gaels St Mary's made a concerted effort to improve its non-conference schedule after getting snubber in the Dance the last couple of years. Not sure they accomplished that but they are 12-2 with the losses coming to Dayton and Winthrop. No shame there. The Gaels have won 8 of the L10 series meetings but did lose their last two visits here. San Francisco got off to a fast start at 6-0 but has slit their eight most recent games and lost in OT to Havard on Monday. Other than games against Gonzaga and BYU, St Mary's won't have much to hang its hat on the rest of the way so games like these (road wins) will be of paramount importance down the road. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Hornets v. Cavs -1.5 | 109-106 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Cleveland Cavaliers This is a tale of two very bad teams. The Hornets have lost six straight and are just 4-8 ATS in their L12 road games. Charlotte's just 3-5 in their L8 meetings with the Cavs and there is just not much to recommend on this team in it's current form. The Cavs play hard which is a start when you have D League talent. Cleveland is 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS in its L6 and have covered four straight at The Quick. The number doesn't figure much here in this virtual pick'em so we'll back to home team in the superior form. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Blazers -3.5 v. Knicks | 93-117 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Portland Trailblazers With better than 40% of the season in the books and sitting at 14-20, Portland has played itself into a hole where every game like this is a must win if the Blazers still have any hopes of getting into the playoffs in the ultra-competitive West. Along with the teams already ahead of them, the Pelicans will unveil Zion Williams. Sacramento, Phoenix, and Memphis are finally getting healthy. The Knick have been about .500 under the coaching change to Mike Miller but don't figure against teams like Portland on any regular basis. Damian Lillard has monster game to get the Blazers off to a fast start in 2020. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Furman -11.5 v. VMI | Top | 89-73 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Furman The Furman Paladins are a solid program that generally represents itself well. The Paladins are 5-0 versus teams outside the RPI Top 200 and an OT loss to Auburn is an example of their quality. Furman has beaten VMI eight straight, including the last four meetings on this floor, all by 12+ points. The Keydets are awful and 2-9 against the No.332 (out of 352 teams) toughest schedule in the country and 0-3 versus the Top 100 with all losses by double-digits. Being a matinee and because Furman has not played in 12 days, this number opened up soft and took significant play on the overnight. Despite being road chalk here, still think Furman is a top play on a sketchy New Year's Day board and look to the Paladins to win by 20. |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Clippers -7.5 v. Kings | 105-87 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Clippers The Clippers are just 6-5 as a road favorite but figure here against a Kings outfit they've beaten nine straight times while going 8-0-1 against the number. The Kings have lost seven straight and the season is going South quickly for Luke Walton and Co. The number is a bit higher than we would like but much prefer the TCB Clippers here to finish out the year in a big way. |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Detroit v. Gonzaga -32 | 72-93 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Best Bet on the Gonzaga Bulldogs Bullet analysis: I should be ashamed of myself for putting this out there but not if we win and I will be betting this game. Detroit is a horrific college basketball team that is even more horrific if you look at the Titans ATS grades over the past two decades. The Zags should have most of this impost covered by the half and cruise to a 50-point win before bigger and better things. |

12-30-19 | William & Mary -6 v. Elon | 74-73 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Best Bet on the William and Mary Tribe Bullet analysis: Elon is 1-9 with three D-III wins. Bill and Mary is 9-2 L11 in the series and won their last two visits here by 7-10 points. The Tribe is 6-1 playing teams outside the RPI top 200 while Elon is No.328 in experience and hasn't played in eight days. William and Mary by 10-14. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Hornets v. Grizzlies -3 | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 14 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies Forget prior history as these are two completely different teams that are headed in opposite directions. Charlotte has lost 5 of 6 and headed for a long year and a top five draft pick. The Grizz are not much but have been showing "buy" signs with pieces like J.A. Morant and a decent core of young vets and key young players. The Grizzles have won 3 of 4 at home … make the 4 of 5 with an easy double-digit win here. |
|||||||
12-29-19 | Richmond +6.5 v. Alabama | 78-90 | Loss | -112 | 13 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Richmond Spiders Richmond is 10-2 and going to be one of your under-the-radar power mid-majors. The Spiders are smart, take care of the ball, and shoot the rock from downtown, No.14 from beyond the arc in the country. They are off a loss to a tough Radford teams but have won both true road games and own a quality win over Wisconsin. Bama hasn't played in 8 days which is actually a positive for them as they play at a breakneck pace. The Tide is just 2-4 versus top 100 teams with their best win over Furman. The Tides has some athletes but Richmond will not be intimidated and don't be surprised if the Spiders win straight up. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Nets +9.5 v. Rockets | 98-108 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Brooklyn Nets The Nets are always live on the road and they are always live getting this type of points. Brooklyn is 8-1 ATS off their L9 straight up losses and have covered five straight trips to Houston, winning the last two meetings in the series straight up. The Rockets are 6-2 straight up in their L8 bit 0-4 ATS in their L4 at The Toyota Center which is not surprising when you always have to pay a James Harden tax which we see in spades here. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Hofstra -2.5 v. James Madison | 82-76 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner Best Bet is on Hofstra Pride Hofstra has been a "go to" team for us and overall, we've done pretty well. The Dutchmen have won 7 of 9 and started the year as the No.5 most experienced team in the country and rarely go to their bench. Hofstra has beaten the Dollies in 5 of the L6 including by 9 in last year's CAA tournament. Further, Hofstra has won the last three meetings on this floor by 5-16-15. James Madison is 6-4 against the No.276 toughest schedule and doesn't score much if they are not hitting their threes and JM gets 40% of their offense from beyond the arc. Hofstra vets will be fuly aware, shut this down cold, and get easy points on long rebounds in transition. |

12-28-19 | Louisville +2.5 v. Kentucky | 70-78 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner Best Bet is on Louisville Cardinals Kentucky is getting a lot of love, even after going 0-2 in Vegas over Christmas. The Cats are a young team as always but this bunch is just not as good as prior editions and will be a work in progress. Louisville is 11-1 and was the No.1 ranked team in the country before getting knocked off by Texas Tech. The Cards have had 11 days to prepare for this game after losing 5 of the L6 in the series including a 90-61 crush-shot loss on this floor two years ago. The Cards will be very salty here and win straight up by 8-10. |

12-28-19 | Detroit v. Oakland -8 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner Best Bet is on Oakland Grizzlies Detroit is God awful, shooting 32% as a team, and that's with John Calipari's kid hitting better than 45% of his treys. Oakland has lost four straight but has played the No.48 (toughest) schedule in the country. The Grizz have a HOF coach that has been there almost 30 years and is approaching 800 wins. Oakland is 8-1 L9 in the series and cruises here. |

DMack NCAAB Power Pack winner Best Bet is on Northern Kentucky UNK has won six straight in the series and faces a Panther outfit here that can't shoot a lick and is 0-5 vs. Top 200 opposition. Milwaukee has played people tough but their No.312 ranked shooting offense just won't cut it against the 6-4 Norse who pay the rent beating the teams they are supposed to beat. This is one of them. |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Thunder -2.5 v. Hornets | 104-102 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the OKC Thunder The Thunder have blown away my preseason expectations and have played pretty good basketball in the ultra-competitive West. OKC just 4-9 straight up on the road this year but the Thunder are 6-3 L9 the way we keep score and should enjoy easier pickings in the East. Charlotte is 13-20 after losing three straight, and just 7-9 at home on a pretty much worthless home court. The light at the end of the Hornets tunnel is a train and like OKC too win here straight up. |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Wolves v. Kings -4.5 | 105-104 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Sacramento Kings This game features two team in virtual complete freefall. The Wolves have lost 11 straight (0-6-1 L7 on the road) and that won't go on forever but this is not the best of spots. At this writing, Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable with a knee sprain and it would be highly unlikely that he would play here. The Kings have lost 5 of 6 but this is a much better spot for them to get things turned around and for our purposes, at a fair price. The home side is 6-1 L7 in the series and in the end, Minnesota's horrific defense will be the decider as the Kings take advantage of lots of easy points. Sacramento by double-digits. |
|||||||
12-25-19 | Clippers +2 v. Lakers | 111-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the LA Clippers It's been 64 days since the Clippers beat the Lakers 112-102 in the game that tipped off the NBA season. Both teams are completely different at this points with PG13 playing for the Clipper and Kyle Kouzma now healthy for the Lakers. Coming right back with the Clippers despite their 2-3 record in last five. The Lakers have lost three straight, are 0-5 ATS L5, have played 13 of their L15 on the road, and Lebron and Anthony Davis are playing through minor dings. Not a statement game by any means for either team but a game that both teams would like to win. Clippers by 6-8. Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you for being a part of a pretty good Fall of 2019. Hope you all have a happy, healthy, and successful 2020! |

DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Minnesota T-Wolves Bullet Analysis: As bad as the Wolves have been, they've done their best work on the road. If they can't win here, maybe it's time to think about tearing it all down. |

DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Siena Saints Bullet Analysis: Saints are 3-0 at home, 0-5 on the road but versus schedule No.85 so tough. The Griffins have 5 of 6 in the series but have lost 3 of 4 and can't shoot a lick this year. Siena by double-digits. |

12-22-19 | Mavs +2.5 v. Raptors | 107-110 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Sunday NBA Play of the Day is on the Dallas Mavericks Wrong favorite here. The Mavs continue to roll, even without Luca. The Mavs have covered their L7 roadies and have also covered their L5 games with the Raptors. Toronto is just 2-4 ATS in its L6 home games and has been beset with a rash of important injuries to the likes of Marc Gasol and Siakim. Dallas seems to find a way and wins this straight up. |
|||||||
12-22-19 | UAB v. Duquesne -8 | 77-68 | Loss | -121 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Duquense Dukes Duquense is one of four undefeated teams left. They haven't really beaten anyone of note and have played a weak schedule but this team looks to be very professional and well coached. The Dukes get good shots are shoot 59% from inside the arc, No.4 in the country. UAB is 6-4 against a much weaker schedule (No.324) than the team they face here. The Blazer are 0-3 versus the Top 100 with all three loses by 8+ points. Both teams had soft touches last night and like the proven commodity at a very fair number. |

12-21-19 | St. John's v. Arizona -10.5 | Top | 70-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arizona Wildcats St Johns is 10-2 but against schedule No.346 with their best win over West Virginia. The Red Storm's new coach has Arkansas roots and plays the 60 minutes of hell defense but that is not likely to be effective here as the Wildcats have excellent guard play. Arizona is 10-2 but has lost 2 of 3 but those were to Gonzaga and Baylor, both top 15 teams. The Cats have been knocking down better than 38% of their treys so if they knock down some shots early, the Johnny pressure will loosen right up. Arizona 85-68. |

12-21-19 | Clippers -5.5 v. Spurs | 134-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
Mack Attack NBA Play of the Day is on the Clippers Went to the well once to many times in taking the Clippers in second of B2Bs last time out. LAC is 6-2 off a loss and should be primed here in a game where say what you want, Kahwi will want to take care of business and have the backing of his teammates to make that happen. Spurs on 4-1 mini-run but this is not a good team and 4-11 ATS in 15 games at the Alamo Dome. Not shade on this number whatsoever so we'll go ahead and lay it. |

12-21-19 | North Florida +14 v. Syracuse | 70-82 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the North Florida Ospreys Bullet Analysis: This might be Boeheim's worst team at "The Cuse" and the Orange is going to have a long year in SEC play. North Florida could contend in the Atlantic Sun and the Ospreys acquitted themselves well against several top 100 teams including Florida during early non-conf play. Toooo many points. |

12-21-19 | Kentucky v. Ohio State -2.5 | 65-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Ohio State Buckeyes Bullet Analysis: Kentucky is 8-2 versus a tomato can schedule as Calipari tries to get this crop up to snuff quickly. They Cats were beaten by an equally inexperienced Utah team here in Vegas Weds in a game they trailed throughout. Ohio State is a killer that shoots lights out from downtown and lays excellent defense. The Buckeyes are a flat spot away from being the No.1 team in the country. |

12-21-19 | North Carolina v. UCLA +4.5 | 74-64 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the UCLA Bruins Bullet Analysis: With the loss of Cole Anthony for 4-6 weeks, the Tar Heels have nobody who can score and here they face a UCLA team that is one of the top rebounding teams in the country and now has a no-nonsense disciplinarian coach calling the shots. Bruins straight up. |

12-21-19 | Robert Morris v. UNLV -9.5 | 69-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the UNLV Rebels Bullet Analysis: Hard to back UNLV laying this type of points but the Rebs new HC called out his team after blowing 13-point lead is last loss to Pacific for lack of effort and basically inferred that many of them would not be back. If UNLV can't roll a horrific No.289 Robert Morris club that is 1-7 on the road, maybe the current roster should not be back. |

12-21-19 | Kansas -1 v. Villanova | 55-56 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Kansas Jayhawks Bullet Analysis: Kansas won this game 74-71 against a much better Nova team than they will see here. The Jayhawks are cashing 60.3% of their shots inside the arc and Nova will be helpless to stop them. Kansas is 7-0 since losing to Duke in the game that tipped off the 2019 college basketball season. |

12-21-19 | Fairleigh Dickinson v. La Salle -10 | 58-66 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the La Salle Explorers La Salle has been a very representative versus the No.82 schedule and has more than enough ammunition to easily handle a horrid FDU team on their home floor. |

12-20-19 | North Dakota State v. Marquette -12 | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Marquette Golden Eagles North Dakota State has won three straight but depend on getting 52% of their points from downtown where they are shooting just 32%. The Bison lost by 13 to Kansas State who are not as good as Marquette. The 8-2 Eagles have also won three straight and are shooting better than 40% from the arc with their leading scorer Howard shooting 46%. They play at a breakneck pace (No.19) so the Eagles pick and pop should get plenty of easy points here. Lay it. |

12-20-19 | Grizzlies -1.5 v. Cavs | 107-114 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies You have to have some "onions" to play the Grizz as a road fave but we are basically just asking Memphis to win here and that is VERY doable. In fact, the Grizz are 5-4 straight up in their L9 road games and face a Cavalier out fit that is just 2-10 SU L12 at home and 2-10 SU overall. Past series history is virtually worthless here as neither team bears any semblance to the team they were 18 months ago. The future looks much brighter for the Grizz than it does for the Cavs and we'll see that here. |

12-19-19 | Nets +3 v. Spurs | 105-118 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Brooklyn Nets The Nets are 5-2 L7 despite a myriad of injuries to their roster, starters and role players. The team is deep and has a nice next man up mentality. They play hard every night and effort never seems to be the problem. This year's version of the Spurs might drive Pop out of basketball. San Antonio is 1-9 L10 as a home favorite and blew a 25-point lead versus Houston in their most recent. This is not close to being any type of vintage Spurs outfit and needs complete retooling. Brooklyn straight up. |

12-19-19 | Hofstra +2.5 v. Princeton | 87-72 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack NCAAB Subscriber Bonus Play is on the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen Hofstra entered the season as the No.6 most experienced team in the country. The Pride are not very deep and in the bottom 10 in the country in bench minutes. They've won at UCLA already this year, start three seniors and two juniors, and most importantly for our purposes … have had nine days off and should be fresh, sharp, and ready to go. Princeton is off an OT game with Iona less than 48 hours ago. Wrong favorite here. |
