03-09-20 | Green Bay v. Northern Kentucky UNDER 151 | Top | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Horizon league conference tourney action here today has Wisconsin Green Bay taking on Northern Kentucky in Indianapolis, IN. Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix are 16-15 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. They have won three straight game and have gone under in their last two. That's what I am looking at today, the total in this matchup. While Green bay has been an over team most of the year, the long season and now the grind of daily tourney play seems to be making them more a defensive team. They held Cleveland State to 67 points and Oakland to 63 points in their last two games. The oddsmaker has a 150 total on today's contest, which is high for a college contest. The Northern Kentucky Norse are 21-9 S/U and 16-12 ATS. They have been more of an under team this year, posting an overall 12-16 O/U record. The Norse have gone under in their last two games and held their last three opponents to 59, 59 and 64 points respectively. The two times these teams have met this year have both gone under. Back on Dec 30th they totaled 132 points and then on Jan 31st they only got to 133 points. Well below the 154 and 155 totals posted. Today we see a small reduction in the total to 150, but I still like it under. Play UNDER. |

03-08-20 | Iowa v. Illinois -3.5 | Top | 76-78 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Final Big 10 conference regular season game here today for both Iowa and Illinois. Iowa is 20-10 S/U and 18-11 ATS on the season.

Illinois lost its last time out, 63-71 at Ohio State. They are still 4-1 S/U their last five. Iowa historically has struggled on the road, going 15-36-2 ATS in their last 53 games vs a team with a winning home record. Illinois is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a loss. The home team has covered the last four in this series. I like the home team here. Play Illinois. |

03-07-20 | Valparaiso v. Missouri State -3.5 | Top | 89-82 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Semifinals of the Missouri Valley Conference here today has Valparaiso playing at Missouri State. This game being played in St Louis, MO so a slight home court here for Missouri State. The Valp Crusaders had to go to OT yesterday to advance to tonight's contest. They beat Loyola Chicago, 74-73 as a 5.5-point dog. They beat Evansville in the first round, 58-55. They will have to be tired here tonight playing their third game in three nights plus that OT. Missouri State should be much fresher, having played just one game thus far. They had an easy time of it last night, blowing out Indiana State, 78-51. The game was never close and that means they should have more in reserve tonight. These conference tournaments really show how well conditioned teams are playing all these games in a row. Tonight, Missouri State is the much rested team. Play Missouri State. |

The Siena Saints are 18-10 S/U and 14-14 ATS on the season. The Saints are 2-3 ATS in their last five games, though they have won eight games in a row straight up. The Saints have struggled though on the road, going 4-10 ATS in their 14 away games. They play a good Monmouth team here today that is 18-12 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. The Hawks are 3rd in the conference and have covered eight of their 12 home games. I like the home team here quite a lot today. They have are 11-1 at home straight up and laying just over a point at home we really just need them to win. Play Monmouth. |

03-05-20 | Stanford +1.5 v. Oregon State | Top | 65-68 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 36 m | Show |
PAC 12 conference action here tonight has Stanford playing at Oregon State. Stanford still with two games left in the regular season as they close out Saturday at Oregon. Stanford is 20-9 S/U and 19-10 ATS on the season. They have covered their last four games. Oregon State is 15-13 S/U and 16-12 ATS this season.

|||||||
03-05-20 | Texas Southern v. Southern -4 | Top | 74-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
Extra board action here tonight has Texas Southern playing at Southern U. The Texas Southern Tigers are 2nd in the Southwestern Athletic conference. They are second despite a 14-14 S/U and 11-15 ATS record. In conference play they have done well, going 11-4 S/U but only 6-9 ATS. They have covered just two of their last eight games. The Southern Jaguars are 14-15 S/U and 17-7 ATS on the season. The Jags have covered five straight games and are 8-1-1 ATS their last 10. They have also won five games in a row straight up. Good matchup here tonight, but Southern U looks tough to me and I expect them to handle visiting Texas Southern. Play Southern U. |

03-04-20 | Florida State v. Notre Dame +2 | Top | 73-71 | Push | 0 | 10 h 57 m | Show |
Atlantic Coast Conference action here on Wednesday has Notre Dame hosting Florida State. The Florida State Seminoles are 24-5 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. The Seminoles are 4-1 S/U their last five and 7-2 their last nine. They are coming off a road loss at Clemson, 69-70 as a 3.5-point favorite. In fact, they have lost three of their last five road games. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 18-11 S/U and 15-12 ATS. The Irish would be considered a bubble team and need to win tonight and in their final home game against Virginia Tech to hit 20 wins. A good conference tourney showing and they should make the NCAA. However, they have to focus on tonight. The Irish are coming off a pair of road losses to Boston College and Wake Forest. They return home where they have won five straight games and are 4-1 ATS. Irish a very small home dog here tonight. I think they have much more motivation to win this game tonight. Play Notre Dame. |

03-03-20 | Marquette -4 v. DePaul | Top | 68-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
Big East action here tonight has Marquette playing at Depaul. Marquette is 18-10 on the season and 16-12 vs the spread. The Golden Eagles have been a good covering team most of their conference play, going 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games. Though they are just 1-4 S/U their last five games. The Depaul Blue Demons are 14-15 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. The Demons are just 6-16 ATS at home this season. In addition, they have covered just one of their last seven games. Moreover, they are 1-10 S/U their last 11. They could also e without one of their better players tonight in forward Paul Reed who is questionable with a hip injury. Reed averages 14.9 ppg this year in his 28 starts and averages 3 blocks and 3.2 rebounds per game. The Blue Demons are bad enough, but if Reed is out, then this team has not shot tonight. I'm taking Marquette. |

03-01-20 | Xavier -2 v. Georgetown | Top | 66-63 | Win | 100 | 3 h 41 m | Show |

Guard James Akinjo is out after being dismissed from the team. Those three players combine for an average of 44.9 ppg this year. That's a lot of points to replace if those two miss time today.

Now Eastern Washington is a dog. Considering how much better they have done than Southern Utah, especially vs the number, I'll take the visitor here tonight. Play Eastern Washington. |

02-26-20 | Denver v. IUPU Ft Wayne OVER 145.5 | Top | 51-58 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
I have really loved playing the Summit League games OVER this year. This has been overall a great league to look for over plays. Tonight we have Denver playing at Indiana-Fort Worth. IPFW Mastadons have kind of bucked the trend in the conference, with six of their last seven going UNDER. They have also seen 4 of their last 9 road games go OVER the spread. The real reason I like this game over is the visitor, the Denver Pioneers. Denver has seen 11 of their last 13 games go OVER the total. They allow a lot of points, 85 or more in their last three games. They have allowed 90 points or more in three of their last six games. Denver is not a good team with just 6-wins on the year, but they can score and they do allow a lot of points. At home I look for Purdue Fort Worth to get their share of good points tonight against this poor Denver team. I'll take the OVER. |
|||||||
02-25-20 | Pistons v. Nuggets -12.5 | Top | 98-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
The Detroit Pistons not only are a long ways from home, but now they have to play in the high altitude of Denver tonight. Detroit has lost six straight games and is 2-8 their last 10 games. The Pistons are 8-17-1 their last 26 as a road dog. They did cover their last game at Portland, but that's not good as they are just 5-15-1 their last 21 following an ATS win. The Denver Nuggets are 2nd in the Western Conference with a 39-18 record. They have won seven of their last 10 games. Denver is also 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. Don't expect much fight here tonight out of the Pistons. Take Denver in a blowout win. |

02-24-20 | West Virginia v. Texas +5.5 | Top | 57-67 | Win | 100 | 18 h 27 m | Show |
Big 12 Conference action on Monday has 17th ranked West Virginia playing at Texas. West Virginia is 19-8 S/U and 13-13 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are 8-7 S/U and 8-7 ATS in conference play. They have struggled though, winning just one of their last five games and covering just one of those five. They will play at an equally struggling Texas Longhorn team. Texas is 16-11 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. The Longhorns have struggled of late in conference play too, going 2-4 S/U and ATS in their last six games and 4-7 S/U and 5-6 ATS their last 11. The one good sign for Texas, they have won their last two games including last time out at Kansas State, 70-59 as a 5.5 point dog. Texas getting about 5 to 5 1/2 points at home is too much to pass on here. Good value with the home team which I believe can win outright. Take Texas. |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Butler v. Creighton -5.5 | Top | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 45 m | Show |
A pair of nationally ranked teams meet here on Sunday as No 21 Butler plays at No 15 Creighton. The Butler Bulldogs are 19-8 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. They are also 7-7 S/U and 4-9-1 ATS in Big East play. I'm a bit surprised the Bulldogs still ranked as they really haven't played well in conference action. Now they have to face a Creighton team that is 21-6 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. Creighton is 10-4 S/U and 10-4 ATS in conference play. They have won and covered their last four games. Unlike Butler, Creighton has been playing very well in conference action. I fully expect this Creighton team to dominate this contest at home. Play Creighton. |

The Rams have three games left with San Jose up today, San Diego State on deck and Air Force in the hole. I'll lay the big price today in a Rams Blowout win. Play Colorado State. |

02-21-20 | Pelicans v. Blazers OVER 238.5 | Top | 128-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
The New Orleans Pelicans need to pick up the pace if they hope to make the playoffs. The Pelicans are 11th in the West, five-games back of 8th place Memphis. Same goes for the Blazers who are in 9th place, 3 1/2 games back of the Grizzlies. Tonight though, I'm looking at the OVER in this contest. The Pelicans are the third highest scoring team in the West at 115.8 ppg. Bad news is that they are the worst defensive scoring team with 117.3 ppg. The Pelicans have gone over in four straight games and six of their last eight. They are 16-11 O/U on the road this year. The Portland Trailblazers have gone over in six of their last eight games and 11 of their last 14. They average 117 points per game at home and allow 115 ppg at home. This one should be very high scoring tonight. I'm taking the OVER. |
|||||||
02-20-20 | UCLA v. Utah -3 | Top | 69-58 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
PAC 12 action here tonight has two teams that likely won't get into the NCAA tournament without a really hot finish to the season or a tournament win. The UCLA Bruins are 15-11 S/U and 12-12 ATS on the season. The Bruins are also 8-5 S/U and 7-6 ATS in PAC 12 play. They have won three straight games though they are just 2-2 ATS their last four. Utah is 14-11 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. The Utes 5-8 S/U and 6-7 ATS in conference play. They have done well at home though, going 5-1 S/U and ATS in their six PAC-12 home games. I like the Utes here at home tonight. We only have to lay about 3-points which is a very good value with a decent home team. Play Utah. |
|||||||
02-19-20 | Louisiana-Monroe v. Arkansas State -7 | Top | 66-52 | Loss | -111 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
Sun Belt Conference action here tonight has UL Monroe playing at Arkansas State. UL Monroe Warhawks are just 7-18 S/U and 9-13 ATS on the season. The Hawks are also having a terrible conference slate, with just a 3-13 S/U and 7-8-1 ATS mark. They have lost 11 of their last 12 games with their only win coming over Troy State, 74-71. Arkansas State is 15-12 S/U and 17-8 ATS on the season. They are 7-9 S/U and 11-5 ATS in conference play. They have lost five straight games, but the last three have been on the road. They return home here tonight where they have covered nine of their 13 games. I like the home team here tonight against the worst team in the conference. Play Arkansas State. |
|||||||
02-18-20 | Arkansas v. Florida -7 | Top | 59-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |

They will take on a Florida team that is 8-5 S/U and 6-7 ATS in conference play. The Gators have won and covered their last two games. Florida laying around 7-points here tonight. I'm going to take the home club. Play Florida. |

Laying around 2-points here with the 1st place NIU squad looks great to me. Play Northern Illinois. |

The Bonnies are 9-3 S/U and ATS in conference play. In addition, St Bonnies has won and covered their last five games and are 3-1 S/U and ATS at home in conference play.

02-04-20 | Mississippi State +6 v. Kentucky | Top | 72-80 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 53 m | Show |
SEC action here today has Mississippi State playing at Kentucky. Miss State Bulldogs have been playing great. They are 14-7 S/U on the season and 13-7 ATS. However, they have won five of their last six games in conference play and have covered seven straight games. This Miss State team has huge size and that plays to their advantage here today. These big men are keeping them in games and recent action has them just a 3-point dog in this matchup. Kentucky is 16-5 overall and just 8-12 vs the number. The Wildcats have covered just two of their last seven games (all in conference). They are also coming off a loss at Auburn, 66-75. Kentucky laying around 6 points here today and that for me is too many points to pass on with the dog. I expect the size of Miss State to give Kentucky all kinds of problems. Play Mississippi State. |

02-03-20 | Baylor -7 v. Kansas State | Top | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 55 m | Show |
Big 12 action finds top ranked Baylor playing at Kansas State here on Monday. The Baylor Bears are ranked number one because of their 19-1 overall record and nifty 14-6 ATS mark. The Bears only loss this season coming in game two back in early November in a tournament game to Washington, 64-67 as a 5-point favorite. They are perfect in conference play with a 9-0 record and 8-1 spread mark - so very impressive for a top ranked team with the oddsmakers knowing they are good. Kansas State not having a very good year at 9-12 S/U and ATS. The Wildcats are 2-7 S/U and 5-4 ATS in conference play. Baylor laying around 7-points here today and I don't believe that is enough. My numbers have them a double-digit favorite here on Monday. I'll lay the price with the top ranked team in the nation. Play Baylor. |

02-03-20 | Pistons v. Grizzlies -8.5 | Top | 82-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
The Detroit Pistons are 11th in the East and fading fast. Detroit still trails 8th place Orlando by just four-games, but they have to do better than 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Pistons have also failed to cover five straight games and are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games. Detroit is 8-14-2 ATS on the road this season. Memphis is 8th in the West with a 24-25 record. They have won seven of their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have also covered four of their last five and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games. They are 15-12 ATS at home this season.

ACC action here this evening has two old rivals meeting as North Carolina takes on neighboring NC State. The North Carolina Tar Heels are not having a good season with just 9-10 S/U and 5-14 ATS season. The Heels started the season in fine fashion, winning their first five games. Since then, NCU is 4-10. They are coming off a nice win at home over Miami-Florida, 94-71. The Tar Heels have been a decent over team, with a 5-1-1 O/U/P record in their last seven games.

This will be a contrast of styles, the fast play of the Tar Heels vs the slower style of NC State. I made this total in the 150's and the oddsmaker made it around 146 to 147. I like the over here as I expect North Carolina to dictate the pace. Play the OVER. |

The Celtics are 4th in the East with a 29-14 record while Orlando is 7th in the East at 21-24. The Magic are 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Celtics are 12-7-1 ATS on the road this season and out scoring opponents by 4.6 ppg. The Magic are 9-11-2 ATS at home and outscoring opponents by 2.6 ppg. Tonight begins a 3-game road trip for the Celtics after playing six of their last seven games at home. The Magic are the best defensive team, holding opponents to a NBA best 104.3 ppg this season. Magic did a poor job though in their last game, allowing 120 points to Oklahoma City. The Celtics do have some injuries though, with F Jayson Tatum out tonight (21.5 ppg) and Jaylen Brown (20 ppg) questionable with a ankle injury. Plus they are already without C Enes Kanter who has a foot injury. I look for the Magic to rebound from that poor defensive game last time. They pride themselves too much on defense to let that happen again. Take Orlando. |

01-22-20 | Illinois State v. Bradley -9.5 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
Missouri Valley Conference action here tonight has two rivals playing as Bradley hosts Illinois State. These close proximity teams having very different seasons thus far. Illinois State Redbirds are 6-12 S/U and 5-12 ATS on the season. The Birds have lost five straight games both S/U and ATS (all in conference). This team has also covered just once since December 7th. Bradley is 12-6 S/U and 11-7 ATS on the season. They are also 6-3 ATS at home and 4-2 S/U in conference play. The Braves failed to cover their last game, a home loss to Northern Iowa, 71-86 as a 1-point dog. That was their first non-cover in their last seven games. Still, this Bradley team is much better than Illinois State. This game has lots of recruiting implications for these two teams and that means a Bradley blowout goes a long way. Take Bradley here tonight. |

TCU has a 10-2 S/U record at home, losing to just USC 78-80 and Xavier, 58-67. Tonight, they are getting around 3 1/2 points from Texas Tech. I believe that TCU can win this game easily and the points are just some insurance for me here tonight. Take TCU. |

01-18-20 | Toledo v. Akron -6 | Top | 99-89 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
MAC action here on the hard court this early afternoon has Akron hosting Toledo. The Akron Zips are having a fine season with a 14-3 overall S/U record and 10-5 ATS mark. The Zips are a perfect 4-0 both S/U and ATS so far in conference play. They are coming off a win at Northern Illinois, 72-49 as 2 1/2 point favorites. In fact, so far in their conference games they have won each contest by at least 14 points or more. That will make a tough task here today for a Toledo Rockets team that is just 9-8 S/U and 4-12 ATS on the season. The Rockets are also just 1-3 S/U and 0-4 ATS in conference play. In fact, they have not covered a spread in 10 straight games. I love the hove team here today. Play Akron. |

Play Wisconsin. |

01-12-20 | Wright State -5.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | Top | 72-76 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Horizon League action here today as Illinois Chicago hosts Wright State. Wright State looks to be the class of this conference with their 15-3 S/U record and 9-6 spread mark. The Raiders have won eight straight games including a 5-0 conference record and 3-2 spread conference mark. They face an Illinois Chicago Flames team that is 8th in the conference standings with a 6-12 overall mark, 8-9 spread record and 1-4 S/U conference record. The Flames are burning out these days with four straight losing games. They just got beat bad at home by Northern Kentucky, 52-68 as 1-point dogs. Now they face the best in this conference. I'm a bit surprised that Wright State just a 5.5 point favorite here. My numbers have them all the way up to -12! Take Wright State. |

Summit League action here on Saturday has Oral Roberts taking on Nebraska- Omaha. The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are 6-7 S/U and 7-3 ATS. The Eagles are no strangers to playing on the road, with eight road games of their 13 total. They are just 1-7 S/U on the road this year, but have covered five of those games. Their road resume has been a tough one too, with away games at Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Iowa, Wichita State, Creighton and BYU. So playing at Nebraska-Omaha should be of little concern to them here today. Meanwhile, Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks are 8-8 S/U and 8-7 ATS on the season. This game right around a pick'em today, but my numbers have Oral Roberts around 5 to 7 point favorite. Take the road team in this one today. Play Oral Roberts. |

The UNCW Seahawks finished their non-con schedule with a 5-8 S/U and 4-5 ATS record. Three of those wins came against Div II teams Johnson & Wales, North Carolina Weslyan and Emory & Henry. Not exactly a great resume of wins there. They have covered just one of their last five games heading into today's contest. They will face a very good Blue Hen's squad that was 10-3 in their non-con games with a 8-4 spread record. Delaware is one of the best in this conference. They started the season 9-0 before dropping three of their last four games. I expect this team to be at the top come conference tourney time. I'll lay the points with them here today.

12-25-19 | Houston v. Washington +1 | Top | 75-71 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
Christmas Day basketball action has the Diamondhead Classic from Honolulu tonight. It's the Houston Cougars taking on the Washington Huskies in late game. Both these teams having excellent seasons. The Cougars are 9-3 S/U and 6-6 ATS on the season. The Cougars are 2-0 both S/U and ATS in the Diamondhead Classic, beating by Portland 81-56 and then Georgia Tech, 70-59. Washington comes in ranked 21st in the country. The Huskies beat Ball State in the opener, 85-64 and then beat host Hawaii, 72-61, covering both games. This should be a great finish to the Classic tonight. I'm taking the Huskies here as either pick'em or plus 1. Play Washington. |

12-21-19 | Oregon State -6 v. Texas A&M | Top | 49-64 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Oregon State not getting a lot of love as they are not ranked despite a nice 9-1 S/U record. They have also covered eight of 10 spreads, so they are doing well for the bettors too. The Beavers haven't lost since Nov 12 to Oklahoma. Since then they are 7-0 S/U and 6-1 ATS. They are off a win at Texas San Antonio, 88-78 as a 8.5-point favorite. This team can score points, evidenced by their 80+ points in five straight games and six of the last seven. Texas A&M is 4-5 S/U and 0-9 ATS on the season. The Aggies have yet to cover a spread, which is horrible. They finally snapped a four-game losing streak though with a win over Texas A&M Corpus Christi, 63-60. Unlike OSU, this team doesn't score much, 63 or fewer points in eight straight. Big mismatch in my opinion here tonight. Oregon State is a 6.5-point road favorite here tonight. My own numbers have OSU over a double-digit favorite tonight. I'm taking the Beavers tonight. Play Oregon State. |

12-20-19 | Pistons v. Celtics -9 | Top | 93-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
The Detroit Pistons bring their 11-17 record to Boston tonight to face the 18-7 Celtics. Detroit has dropped two straight games both S/U and ATS. They are off a loss at home against the Raptors, 99-112. The Pistons are just 4-9 S/U on the road and 4-7-2 ATS. They are getting outscored by 2.7 points on the road. The Celtics snapped a 2-game losing streak last time out with a win at Dallas, 109-103 as a 2.5-point dog. The Celtics are a good covering team at 15-9-1 ATS on the season. At home they are 10-1 S/U and 7-4 ATS and outscoring opponents by 8.7 points. I like the home club here tonight. Get on this side before the line moves too much. Play Boston. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | William & Mary -1 v. St. Joe's | Top | 69-84 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
William & Mary having a fine season thus far at 8-3 S/U and 8-2 ATS. The Tribe have won three straight games and covered three of their last four line games. St Joe's not having such a good season at just 2-9 S/U and 4-6 ATS. The Hawks have lost eight straight games and covered just one of their last six. The Hawks are off a 47-point loss at Temple, 61-108. Still, despite what I see as a big edge to the visitor, they are just a 1 to 2 point favorite here tonight. My own number has them well above that. Take William & Mary. |
|||||||
12-18-19 | St. Mary's v. Arizona State +1.5 | Top | 96-56 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
Hall of Fame Showcase tourney action tonight is a semi-home game here for Arizona State as they take on St Mary's. This game being played in Phoenix and ASU in nearby Tempe. St Mary's is 9-2 S/U and 4-7 ATS on the season. The Gaels are off a win over Cal, 89-77, but lost the game before on a neutral court to Dayton, 68-78. The Gaels have covered just one of their last four and two of six. Arizona State has won five straight games after their last win over Georgia, 79-59 as a 4.5-point favorite. The Sun Devils are 5-0 S/U at home and like I stated, they will have a slight home advantage here tonight. I think ASU should be a slight favorite here tonight, but they are getting 1 to 2 points. I'll take that with a very good ASU team. Play Arizona State. |
|||||||
12-17-19 | Miami-FL v. Temple -2 | Top | 78-77 | Loss | -117 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
Hall of Fame Invitational tournament action here tonight from Brooklyn, NY has the Temple Owls taking on the Miami Florida Hurricanes. The Canes are 6-3 S/U and 7-2 ATS so far this season. Miami has covered just one of its last five games. Their last tourney they went 1-2 S/U and 0-3 ATS. Temple has also been in one tourney and they went 2-1 S/U and 3-0 ATS. They are now 7-1 S/U and 5-3 ATS on the year. The Owls have covered five of their last six games now. Temple laying just 1 or 1 1/2 here tonight. One of my numbers have the Owls as a much larger favorite on this neutral court. I'm taking the Owls here tonight. Play Temple. |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Purdue -12 v. Nebraska | Top | 56-70 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
Big 10 Conference action here on Sunday as Purdue takes on Nebraska. The Purdue Boilermakers are 6-3 S/U and 5-4 ATS on the season. Purdue has had four days off since they beat Big 10 opponent Northwestern, 58-44. The Boilermakers beat defending Champion Virginia the previous game, 69-40. The defense has been outstanding, holding four of the last six opponents to under 50 points. Nebraska plays its second Big 10 contest here today. The Huskers are 4-6 on the season both S/U and ATS. Nebraska lost it's opener in the Big 10 in OT at Indiana, 90-96, covering the 17.5 point dog line. Nebraska returns home for the first time in its last eight games. After today, they have two non-conference games before jumping into the Big 10. Purdue laying 12 here today. One of my key numbers has the Boilermakers just over 18. I like Purdue here today as I'll lay the double digits. Play Purdue. |
|||||||
12-14-19 | Drake v. Dayton -15 | Top | 47-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Drake comes into tonight's contest a large dog, despite their 8-2 record they aren't getting much love from the oddsmaker here in this one. Looking at their games, tehir one real tough game is a loss at Cincinnati, 59-81 as a 11.5-point dog. Their other loss came in a neutral site tourney game to Miami Ohio, 59-67 as a 4.5-point favorite. Dayton meanwhile, is 7-1 S/u and 6-2 ATS and has played plenty of tough competition. They lost in OT in their one setback to Kansas, 84-90. They beat a good St Mary's team by 10 points, Georgia by 19 points and Virgina Tech by 27 points. My number has Dayton over a 20 point favorite here tonight and I can see why because of the level of competition. I'll lay that big number with the Flyers here tonight. Play Dayton. |
|||||||
12-13-19 | Knicks v. Kings -8.5 | Top | 103-101 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
Never thought I would put the Golden State Warriors in the phrase "Worst team in the NBA" but they hold that distinction with tonight's team, the Knicks. The Knicks and Warriors both have just 5 wins this season. The Knicks have lost nine of their last 10 games and have a league worst -10.6 point differential. The Jazz are 6th in the West with a 14-11 record. The Kings have won three straight and have covered three of their last four games. Sacramento is 6-4 S/U and 5-5 ATS at home this year with a -1.3 point differential. The Knicks have a -13.7 point differential on the road and are 2-10 S/U and 6-6 ATS. The Knicks did just cover at that other worst team, the Warriors, winning straight up, 124-122. They still have two games left on this Western road trip and they get tougher now with Sac tonight and Denver on Sunday. I'm going to lay the points here tonight in a blowout win. Take the Kings. |
|||||||
12-12-19 | Mavs -5.5 v. Pistons | Top | 122-111 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
Tonight's contest being played in Mexico City, Mexico has the Dallas Mavericks taking on the Detroit Pistons. The mavs are having an excellent season at 14-9 S/U and ATS. The Pistons will have to do better if they want to make a postseason, currently sitting at 10-14 S/U and 10-12-2 ATS. Dallas had its five game win streak snapped last time out vs Sacramento, 106-110. The Mavs have covered five of their last six and 10 of their last 12 games. While this isn't a true road game, they have been very good away from home, posting a 8-2 mark both S/U and ATS. The Pistons have won two straight and four of their last five both S/U and ATS. Detroit hasn't been so good away from home with a 3-9 mark S/U and 3-7-2 ATS. The Mavs just too good a road team to pass on the points here tonight. I'll take Dallas and lay the number. |
|||||||
12-10-19 | Butler +5 v. Baylor | Top | 52-53 | Win | 100 | 21 h 4 m | Show |
19th ranked Butler looks to improve to a perfect 10-0 here tonight at 11th ranked Baylor. The Bulldogs not only are a 9-0 to start the season, but have covered six of their eight spread games. The Bulldogs are coming off a win at home over Florida, 76-62 as a 4-point favorite. Baylor also having a good season at 7-1 S/U and 5-3 ATS. The Bears lone loss coming back in game two to Washington, 64-67. Baylor is a 5-point favorite here tonight. My numbers have them smaller, closer to 2 or 2 1/2. That being said, I expect a close game here tonight that could go either way. I'll take the five points though with the dog. Play Butler. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Fresno State v. Utah State -12.5 | Top | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 33 m | Show |
Fresno State not a very good team at just 2-5 S/U and 0-5 ATS on the season. Now they face 25th ranked Utah State here on Saturday afternoon. Utah State is 8-1 S/U and 4-5 ATS on the season. Fresno is so bad that they game a 0-7 Cal Northridge team its first win of the season, 72-73. Then lost at home to UNLV, 80-81, two teams they were favored against and lost straight up. Now they hit the road for a three straight beginning with today's game. Utah State has just one loss, that coming on the road to a very good St Mary's team, 67-75 as a 2.5-point dog. The Aggies rebounded though with a win at San Jose State, 71-59. I am very anti-Fresno and with a very good Utah State team here today laying just 12 1/2 points, that's an early Christmas present as far as I'm concerned. Take Utah State in a blowout. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Pelicans v. Mavs -8.5 | Top | 84-130 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show |
Contrast of teams here today as the visiting New Orleans Pelicans are just 6-16 on the season with an 11-11 spread mark. They must face a very good Dallas Mavericks team that is 15-6 S/U and 13-8 ATS. The Pelicans have lost seven straight games and gone 1-5-1 ATS during that stretch. They are just 2-8 away from home and have been outscored by 7.7 points. Dallas is first in the Southwest Division. They have won four straight both S/U and ATS. They are also 9-1 S/U and ATS their last 10 games. The Mavs are 7-4 at home and outscore opponents by 8.3 ppg. I like the Mavs a lot in this early game. Take Dallas. |
|||||||
12-05-19 | Nuggets -9 v. Knicks | Top | 129-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
Denver is now 13-5 S/U and 7-9-2 ATS after a 2-game losing streak to the Lakers and the Kings the last couple of outings. The Nuggets are also 4-3 ATS their last seven games. Still, the Nuggets are atop the Western Conference Northwest division. Denver is 5-2 S/U and 3-3-1 ATS on the road this year where they have outscored opponents by a 2.9 point margin. The Knicks just can't seem to do much right, off to a 4-17 S/U record. The Knicks have now lost seven straight games and are also 1-4-1 ATS their last six games. They are 3-8 S/U at home and 4-6-1 ATS. They are being outscored by a 5.6 point margin on their own court. No doubt Denver is much better. The points are a bit stiff in this one, but I'll lay them with the much better team. Play Denver. |
|||||||
12-04-19 | Bucks -8.5 v. Pistons | Top | 127-103 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
Milwaukee looks to be the team to beat in the NBA Eastern Conference. The Bucks sit atop the conference with a 18-3 S/U record and have the highest scoring differential in the entire NBA at +12.4 ppg. The Bucks have won 10 straight games and are led by the amazing Giannis Antetokounmpo with 30.8 ppg and also leading the team in assists with 5.8 per game. The Detroit Pistons sit 9th in the East right now with a 8-13 record. The Pistons have +1 scoring differential. The Pistons are a better home team with a 6-4 record both S/U and ATS and have a +6.8 score differential. Still, the Bucks are just too good a team to pass on here tonight. Play Milwaukee. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Michigan +5.5 v. Louisville | Top | 43-58 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Michigan has climbed all the way up to No 4 in the country as they take on top ranked Louisville tonight. This in in big part to their recent play, which included wins over Gonzaga (82-64), North Carolina (73-64) and Iowa State (83-76). Those key wins improved the Wolverines to 7-0 S/U and 5-2 ATS on the season. Top ranked Louisville is also 7-0 S/U, but just 3-4 ATS on the season. Louisville laying around 5 1/2 points here tonight. My numbers have this game anywhere from pick to 2 points on Louisville. Michigan proved they can beat the best and I won't be surprised if they pull it off again here tonight. Take the points with the visitor in this one, play Michigan. |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Columbia v. Delaware -6 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
Delaware puts its perfect 8-0 record on the line tonight at home against the Ivy league's Columbia. The Blue Hens are also 6-1 against the number this year. While the resume has no heavyweights on it, they are all the caliber of tonight's opponent. Their only non-cover came in their last game in a win over Maryland Eastern Shore, 75-56, failing to cover the 20.5 point chalk line. Columbia is 3-5 S/U and 4-4 on the season. The Lions have won two straight games over Central Connecticut and Lehigh. This team has played some heavyweights, losing to Virginia (42-60), Wake Forest (63-65) and St Johns (63-82). Don't see Columbia coming close to putting a "L" in that Delaware loss column. I'm taking Delaware tonight. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Tennessee v. VCU +1 | Top | 72-69 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
Emerald Classic first round action today from Niceville, Florida has Tennessee taking on VCU. Both teams suffered their respecitve first losses of the season in this tournament. Tennessee was 5-0 before losing last night to Florida State, 57-60, narrowly missing the +1.5-point cover. VCU lost a hard-fought battle to Purdue last night, 56-59, also just failing to cover the 2.5-point dog line. This game is very evenly matched and I won't be surprised to see this one come right down to the end of the game to find a winner. However, taking 2-points with VCU is what I'm doing here tonight since I look for VCU to win this game outright. Play Virginia Commonwealth. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Hofstra +1 v. San Diego | Top | 69-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
Hofstra continues its one West Coast trip this season with a final game here at San Diego. The Pride started this swing at UCLA with a big win over the Bruins, 88-78 and then a blowout win at Cal State Fullerton, 79-57. Hosftra is now 4-2 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the season. San Diego is 2-5 S/U and 3-3-1 ATS on the season. San Diego has lost three straight games, getting beat by at least 17-points in each of those games. Things won't get much better here tonight as they have to play a very good Hofstra team. I like the visitor in this one. Play Hofstra. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | CS-Northridge +9.5 v. Green Bay | Top | 84-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Lets face it, Cal Northridge would be in my bottom five teams in the nation. This team is horrible. They give up a lot of points and they are usually blown out in games, especially on the road. Northridge played last night against Colgate and then turns around and makes the trip to Wisconsin for tonight's game. They are on a long road trip here having been blown out at Auburn, 70-116 and then at Richmond, 62-90, before covering last night vs Colgate, 56-64 as a 10-point dog. Wisconsin Green Bay isn't a very good team, they have played four games and lost three of them on the road. However, they get a softball the next two games with home stints against CSUN and then Colgate. I look for Wisconsin Green Bay to get an easy win here tonight. Play Wisconsin Green Bay. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | UC-Davis v. Portland -7 | Top | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 34 m | Show |
UC Davis brings a 2-4 S/U and 0-5 ATS record into tonight's contest. Portland U is having a fine season with a 4-1 S/U and 4-0 ATS mark. Davis lost at Sacramento last time out 51-61 as a 5-point dog. Davis still looking for that first cover of the season against five misses. Portland is coming off a win over Portland State 82-75, covering the 6.5 point line. Unlike their opponent, Portland has covered all four of its attempts vs the number. I'm sticking with the hot team here today. Play Portland. |
|||||||
11-22-19 | Cavs v. Mavs -10 | Top | 101-143 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Cleveland Cavaliers are 4-10 S/U and 6-6-2 ATS to start their season. The Cavs will find it difficult to snap their five-game losing streak here tonight. Easier might be their four-game spread losing streak as they are getting 10-points from the Mavericks. The Cavs are 2-6 S/U and 4-3-1 ATS on the road where they are getting outscored 101.9 to 107.1. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. They are coming off a complete white wash of the Warriors, 142-94. The Mavs are 5-3 both S/U and ATS at home where they have a +7.1 score differential. I'm going to lay the points here tonight with the home team. Play the Dallas Mavericks. |
|||||||
11-21-19 | Central Michigan +9.5 v. Minnesota | Top | 57-82 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 56 m | Show |
Central Michigan perfect to start the season at 4-0 S/U and 2-0 ATS. Central Michigan opened with four home games and scored over 100 points in three of those games - albeit against weak competition. Now they hit the road for the first time and tonight is their toughest test thus far vs Minnesota. Minnesota opened with a win over Cleveland State, 85-50 and then lost three straight games to Oklahoma, Butler and Utah - all tough opponents. Minnesota laying 9 1/2 tonight. My numbers have them less than that, but we also have to look at the strength of schedule too - which greatly favors Minnesota. Still, I'm going to take Central Michigan and the points here tonight. |
|||||||
11-20-19 | UC-Davis v. CS Sacramento -3.5 | Top | 51-61 | Win | 100 | 19 h 44 m | Show |
This game moves away from Sac State's home court to a bigger venue, the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. While it's listed as a neutral site, Sac State will obviously still be getting some home court value out of this game. Sac State is 2-0 S/U and 1-0 ATS after the start to their season. Have to throw out their first game, a laugher over Simpson University, 76-27. They then beat UC Riverside at home, 62-49, covering the 3-point line. Meanwhile, UC Davis already has five games under its belt. Davis is 2-3 S/U and 0-4 ATS. Like Sac State, you have to discard their lopsided win over William Jessup, 109-63. If we do, then Davis is just 1-3 S/U, 0-4 ATS. Sac State still at home here and I like them because my numbers have a big slant in their direction. Play Sacramento State. |
|||||||
11-18-19 | Northern Colorado v. West Virginia -15.5 | Top | 61-69 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Northern Colorado comes into tonight's contest at 2-2 S/U and 2-1 ATS. NCU opened with a loss at Texas, 45-69 and then returned home for two easy wins over Incarnate Word and Colorado College before a fourth game at Northern Iowa that they lost, 72-77. West Virginia is 2-0 S/U and 1-1 ATS on their young season. The Mountaineers opened at Akron with a 94-84 win and then returned home to beat a good Pitt team, 68-53 as a 1.5-point favorite. WVU laying around 15-points here tonight. NCU not a good road team and WVU will be up for a big game on their home floor. Play West Virginia. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | CS-Northridge v. Richmond -14 | Top | 62-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Cal State Northridge Matadors still looking for their first win of the season after a 0-4 start. The Mats got pummeled last game by Auburn, 70-116 as a 23-point dog. Northridge has also yet to cover a spread. This Northridge club isn't good at all, but they are even worse on the road. And it would figure that they are playing six of their first seven away from the Matadome. Richmond is enjoying life at home in the opening days of the season. The Spiders play their first six at home. They are 2-0 S/U and 0-2 ATS in those first two home games. The Spiders score a lot, but also give up a lot, allowing 98 and 92 in their first two games. Don't be surprised if Richmond cracks the 100 mark here today against Northridge. Lay whatever you need to with Richmond. |
|||||||
11-15-19 | South Dakota State +6.5 v. Nebraska | Top | 73-90 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
South Dakota is 3-1 S/U and 2-1 ATS to start the season. The Jack Rabbits are coming off a loss at USC, their first loss and non-cover this season, 66-84 as a 15-point dog. They play at Nebraska tonight. The Cornhuskers open with five home games, but have dropped their first two games to lower conference teams. They lost their opener to UC Riverside, 47-66 in a blowout loss a 16-point favorite, then lost in OT to Southern Utah, 78-79. The Huskers looking for that first win tonight against really a even better South Dakota State squad from what they have faced thus far. Until these Cornhuskers prove they can win, they shouldn't be laying these kinds of points. Take South Dakota State. |
|||||||
11-13-19 | LSU +3 v. VCU | Top | 82-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
LSU plays its second game of the season here tonight at VCU. The Tigers opened the season at home five days ago with a win over Bowling Green, 88-79, but didn't cover the 13-point chalk line. Not much on tap for LSU after tonight's contest as they have Nicholls State and UMBC on deck. VCU will play six straight home games to start the season. They opened with a win over St Francis-PA, 72-58 and then beat North Texas, 59-56. They failed to covers double-digit spreads in both of those games. One of my numbers has LSU as the team that can win this game tonight. Early in the season I have to lean on those numbers and I will take the points tonight. Play LSU. |
|||||||
11-12-19 | Texas-Arlington +5.5 v. Nevada | Top | 73-80 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
Texas Arlington is 2-0 S/U and 1-0 ATS to start their season. Arlington opened at home with a win over Texas-Dallas and then over a good Tulsa team, 73-59. Now Arlington hits the road for three straight tough opponents starting tonight with Nevada. Then they have to go to Oregon and then Gonzaga. Nevada lost its opener at home to Utah, 74-79 as a 5-point chalk and then beat Loyola Marymount at home, 72-67 but failing to cover the 9-point line. Tonight, Arlington a dog here against a team that has yet to cover. All my indicators are on the Arlington side here tonight. Play Texas Arlington. |
|||||||
11-08-19 | Illinois-Chicago v. Memphis -19 | Top | 46-92 | Win | 100 | 18 h 1 m | Show |
Memphis has a young team as they enter 2019-20 season. There will likely be growing pains this season as this team develops. They can build though on what is a very good group of freshmen. Also expect this team to be very quick and uptempo, so covering lines like tonight that approach 20 points shouldn't be a problem. Illinois-Chicago won't shy away from the uptempo offense, so this should really be a high scoring game. But for me, Memphis just has too much talent for this ICU team. Play Memphis. |
|||||||
11-06-19 | Magic v. Mavs -7.5 | Top | 106-107 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
Orlando Magic now 2-5 S/U and 1-5-1 ATS on the year. The Magic had to play last night at Oklahoma City and while they hung around most of the night, they fell back late in a loss, 94-102. The Magic have yet to crack the 100 point mark this season in their seven games. Might be difficult tonight too. They are playing the second of a back-to-back spot and that's always tough on a team. Conversely, the Mavs have yet to score UNDER 100 points in any of their six games. In fact, they are averaging 116.7 ppg this season. The Magic will have to keep the Mavs scoring down or else they won't come close in this game. Still, bad spot for the Magic playing back-to-back against a high scoring team. Play the Mavericks |
|||||||
11-05-19 | Bradley -5 v. St. Joe's | Top | 81-86 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Bradley had an exhibition game that doesn't count in their record, but it was an cakewalk over Millikin, 91-52. Now the real season begins here at St Joe's. Bradley had a nice season last year, going 20-15 winning the Missour Valley Tourney title and going to the NCAA tournament. What I like about this year's edition is that the Braves return their top three scorers and five of their top seven from last year. Darrell Brown is back after leading the team in scoring last year. St Joe's was 14-19 last year and just 6-12 in the Atlantic 10. Doesn't look much better this year as the Hawks are picked to finish 13th in the conference. This Bradley team showed it can win on the road, taking 10 away games last year. I like Bradley a lot here tonight. Play Bradley. |

11-01-19 | Spurs -6.5 v. Warriors | Top | 127-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
I'll be looking at the NBA game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors. Well, it's officially panic time in Golden State. Not only are the Warriors just 1-3 to start the season, but they have been blown out in both home games. They are coming off one of those blowout losses at home to the Phoenix Suns of all teams, 110-121. And worse of all, the Warriors fell behind by 20 early in the game and never got close. That was the first game the Warriors were even a favorite. To make matters even worse, now the Warriors will be without their star guard in Stephen Curry who broke his hand. The Spurs are 3-1 S/U and 0-4 ATS on the season. The Spurs lost their first game of the season last time out at the Clippers, 97-103. They had won their first three games, all at home, but failed to cover any of those. The Spurs are averaging 113.5 ppg and allowing 111.5 ppg this season. Until I see some major improvements in the Warrior team and the return of some healthy players, I'll continue to go against them like I have in just about every game this year. |

10-31-19 | Nuggets -4 v. Pelicans | Top | 107-122 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
Denver has started the season quickly with a 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS mark. Denver suffered its first loss of the season last time out at home to Dallas, 106-109. The Nuggets are averaging 105.8 ppg and allowing 102.5 ppg this season. Denver has covered both of its road games this year, outscoring those two opponents by 7.5 points. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are still looking for their first win of the season after a 0-4 S/U and 1-3 ATS start to the year. The Pelicans give up a lot of points, at least 123 in each of their first four games. They are averaging 121 ppg and giving up 128.3 ppg thus far. The Pelicans are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games and 5-20 ATS their last 20 dating back to last season. I like Denver here tonight laying the small number. Play the Nuggets. |

10-30-19 | Rockets v. Wizards +8 | Top | 159-158 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Houston Rockets have started the season with a 2-1 S/U and 0-3 ATS record. The Rockets opened the season with three games at home, winning two of the three but failing to cover any of those games. They are off a win over Oklahoma City, 116-112 as a 10-point favorite. Now they take to the road for the first time this year. Washington is 1-2 S/U and 3-0 ATS. The Wizards started the season all on the road, at Dallas, OKC and San Antonio. While they only beat Oklahoma City, they did cover all three. Now they host their first game of the season. The big game is not this Houston vs Washington matchup, but rather the one on the diamond tonight for the World Series crown. Still, these teams might draw some interest and I like the host here. They are getting eight-points and have covered every game thus far. Take the Washington Wizards tonight plus the points. |

10-28-19 | Hornets v. Clippers OVER 227.5 | Top | 96-111 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Both these teams have been scoring machines this early NBA season. The Clippers won the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes in the offseason and it's paid dividends thus far as the Clippers beat their instate rivals in the Lakers in the opener, 112-102 and then beat Golden State on the road, 141-122. They did lose their third game at Phoenix, 122-130. They have gone over in the last two games. Charlotte opened the season with a win over Chicago, 126-125. Then lost at home to Minnesota 99-121 and then lost at the Lakers, 101-121. All three of their opponents scoring 120 points or more. I like this one over tonight. I expect the Clippers to score over 120 and that means we don't need much over 100 out of Charlotte. Take the OVER. |

10-26-19 | Clippers -9 v. Suns | Top | 122-130 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
The LA Clippers won the Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes over the off season. So far it has looked like it has paid off well, with a 2-0 start to the season. The Clippers started off with a win over intrastate rival LA Lakers and then went to Golden State and trounced the Warriors 141-122. Leonard has averaged 25.5 points so far in the two games. Phoenix started with a win at home over Sacramento, 124-95 and then lost at Denver in a close matchup yesterday, 107-108. Playing the Clippers right now looks difficult enough, but add to that fact that the Suns had to play last night and then travel back home tonight and it's a daunting task. I'm taking the Clippers here tonight. |

10-23-19 | Bulls -3 v. Hornets | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Chicago didn't have the best preseason, but we have to not put much into those numbers. They shot just 41% as a team during the preseason in their five games. The Bulls had a 2-3 record with a +0.4 point differential. The Hornets were just 1-4 in the preseason with a -2.6 point differential. Both these clubs missed the postseason last year. The Hornets are much different looking with many players gone from last year. The current roster holds many question marks with unknown players ready to start. The addition of a key few vets to Chicago gives them a bigger edge to start the season. The Hornets are just too inexperienced at this point. I'm going to lay the points on the road with the Bulls. Play Chicago. |
