12-13-17 | Predators -1.5 v. Canucks | 7-1 | Win | 220 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Trying for the big payday on NASHVILLE Puck Line. Canucks having trouble scoring lately. Injures not helping things. You can go -145 if you want. But I'll risk the 100 to take back 200+. 4* PL Money NASHVILLE PREDATORS |

12-13-17 | Villanova -8 v. Temple | 87-67 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Taking VILLANOVA tonight. Not normally a big fan of taking big road faves. Especially when I am laying points with the newly crowned '#1' ranked team in the land. I think Nova is a very good team. I don't when all is said and done if they are the best. That is why we play the games. But I think they are better than Temple. And there are the talking points. Home dog facing #1 team. Home dog in a rivalry. Make no mistake, this Philly 5 Series (Nova, Temple, St Joe's, LaSalle, Penn) is a big deal to the team. Villanova has swept through going 4-0 the last 4 years. They have already destroyed St Joe's by 41. They beat LaSalle by 9. But, that was also off their Gonzaga game. So maybe a bit of a 'going through the motions.' I just can't see Temple keeping pace here. Wildcats should pull away for a double digit win. 4* Money Maker VILLANOVA |

12-12-17 | Michigan v. Texas -6 | Top | 59-52 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 13 m | Show |
Taking TEXAS tonight. So I cashed, somehow, Michigan -4.5 in OT over UCLA. That line was moved up to 7 in spots. We get a gift missed layup for late buyers. But let's look at that a game. A game Michigan had no right to win. What do they have in the tank here? Oh yeah. You will hear, let's build off that great comeback. Blah, blah, blah. These guys are off that OT UCLA game which was after b2b Big 10 games, on the heels of North Carolina. Now they face the Shaka Smart Longhorns who will bring the defense and rebounding. Both teams with cupcakes coming up. Again. I can see this being a game for a half. Then the affects of the OT comeback win will rear their ugly faces as Texas pulls away for a 10pt win. 5* Best Bet TEXAS LONGHORNS |

12-12-17 | Albany NY +1 v. Memphis | 58-67 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
Taking ALBANY. You already know my thoughts on Memphis. We had Mercer and Samford against them already. I will go again with a visitor. Great Danes the class of America East. This is a game they need to put under the belt. 4* Money Maker ALBANY GREAT DANES |
|||||||
12-12-17 | Georgia Southern +1 v. George Mason | 74-51 | Win | 100 | 22 h 48 m | Show | |
Taking GEORGIA SOUTHERN. These guys beat Wake on the road, and a Missouri State team on a neutral who I think should win the MVC Conference. These guys bring back good experience from last year. Ike Smith and Tookie Brown run the offense. Though Ike left last game with an ankle injury. Even if is limited, I think we still win this. Georgia Southern gets boards and leads the nation in offensive rebounding. This Mason team has zero depth and is really a 5 man crew. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES |
|||||||
12-12-17 | Fordham v. Rutgers -11 | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
Taking RUTGERS. This is a game that Rutgers has to win. That is why they put Fordham on the schedule. They won by 15 last year. Rams shooting the same 40% from the field as Rutgers. But 24% from 3 is terrible and 28 rebounds a game won't compete with the Scarlet Knights pulling down nearly 40 boards a game! If you take out the Rams top 2 scores, the team can't hit water falling out of a boat in the Atlantic Ocean. Again. Rutgers already 0-2 in Big 10 play. They need every win they can muster. 4* Money Maker RUTGERS |
|||||||
12-11-17 | Hurricanes v. Ducks -110 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Taking the DUCKS here. I don't think Carolina has played exactly 1 home game since November 27th. That is a long time on the road. They have lost the first 3 on this road trip, the last 2 OT. I the proverbial break is in order and you would think they luck into a win. But what about our Ducks. They come home after a 1-6 road trip ending in b2b shoot-out losses. Win their first game back on home ice then lose in OT. This team needs some wins. I think against a road weary Hurricanes team they get it. Ducks 7-1 last 8 vs the 'Canes. 4* Money Maker ANAHEIM DUCKS |
|||||||
12-11-17 | Patriots v. Dolphins UNDER 48 | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 22 h 36 m | Show | |
Going UNDER the total tonight. Alright. As I write this we could be looking at nice 6-0 day of NFL action if the Ravens, up 31-20 right now, hold on for us +5. That being said. Still a nice December run as we are 12-1 in the month heading to that Sunday night game. I'm going to tell you that I am 11-12 on my totals this NFL season. But I can't lay double digits on the road, and I can't get in front of this NE beast. And what really sets this team apart lately is their defense. Remember how we said Pats were done after opening the year 0-2 at home. Blowing a lead to KC. Having to score in the final seconds to beat a rookie QB at home against the Texans. Letting Carolina drop 33 on them at home. The defense was terrible. Well. In 8 games since they haven't allowed more than 17 points. They have really turned it up lately. 3-8-16 points allowed their last 3 road games. As I said in our Ravens write up. Big game on deck vs Steelers up next for NE. Do we think this team is pulling out all the stops here? They show up and win by 10 just going through the motions. I think Gase is out this year. The Cutler job was brutal. Yeah. They exploded for 35 last week vs Denver. 2 defensive TDs and 2 safeties. Do you like those chances against Brady? I think Miami still has a decent defense. So I don't think NE gets to the mid-30s. And I can't see Miami getting more than 20. 4* Total Money UNDER Pats/ Dolphins |

12-11-17 | Florida International +135 v. South Florida | 65-53 | Win | 135 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
Taking FIU and going ML. You can grab any points if you feel safer. But to be honest. With pair of bottom feeders in the AAC and CUSA, I think the value is on the ML. FIU I think is the better of the rebuilding schools. They have a couple wins under their belts. Not that Morgan State is a terrible MEAC school, I think they are a top 3 school in conference. But that being said. I really don't think they schedule MEAC schools to lose to them at home. Give me the Golden Panthers tonight. 4* Money Maker FIU |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Ravens +5 v. Steelers | 38-39 | Win | 100 | 20 h 25 m | Show | |
Taking the RAVENS here. One really thing I like here is that Pitt is off that Cincy game. Man they hate Cincy. Almost as much as they hate Baltimore. Tough to come off such a physical, and emotional game like that. Now to get up for another hated division rival. Steelers appear, not to play down, but to always be in a game late. Maybe they are begging us to take Baltimore and Pitt rolls 34-17. But Ravens 4-1-1 ATS last 6 in the series. Pitt won 26-9 back in October. They have the Patriots on deck. I know they battled all the way back over Cincy. But the talk has been all New England and home field. I'll take the flyer on a division road dog. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Seahawks v. Jaguars -2.5 | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
Taking the JAGUARS. Look. We cashed Seattle ML last week. But that was a home game. It was a totally disrespect game with a line starting at 6. This is a tougher game. First. Flying to the opposite coast. They get a break with a 4pm start. But they have a much bigger division game on deck vs Rams. And let's be honest here. This Jags defense is a beast. They will eat up this OL. Wilson will make a couple plays. But I think he is going to make a couple costly mistakes also. I think this is actually a 'statement' game for Jacksonville. They hear that Bortles is garbage and they can't win with him. I think they rally and show the league they are for real. We have to win by a FG not 2 TDs. 5* Best Bet JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Redskins v. Chargers -6 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
Taking the CHARGERS here. Easy to jump on LAC and say. Oh, no way they don't win by TD. I feel that every square will be on this play. And believe me. I have taken my lumps with dogs all year while the public has reaped the rewards of season of favorites. I'll tell you why I like this. Defense. Yes. Defense. LAC has been winning with their defense. 0-4 start for them. How about those first 2 losses. OT loss on the road to Jags. They have given up more than 24 points once on the year. To Philly (26). Not the Patriots in New England where they blew a cover losing 21-16. I can't take anything away from Cousins. Guy just fills the stat sheet. But I think Bosa (11.5 sacks) Ingram (8.5 sacks) get to him behind his banged up OL. Chargers 4th in sacks and 4th in INTs on the year. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Titans v. Cardinals +3 | 7-12 | Win | 100 | 16 h 47 m | Show | |
Taking ARIZONA today. Now. Many times you will see just grab ML when there are +2.5/ 3 points dogs. Not in this case. As much as I want to, I have to ease up just a bit. This is more of a fade play on the Titans. How the heck are these guys 8-4 and have been outscored on the season. They get another end of game cover on a break away run. I'm not sold. And that is completely opposite of how I started the season on them over the Raiders. Arizona knocked off the Jags here. Is this team better? I don't think so. Plus, how can you lay points with Mariota on the road? 3rd road game in 4 weeks for Titans, while this is 3rd straight at home for Cards. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | South Alabama v. SIU-Edwardsville -2.5 | 75-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
Taking SIUE today. Not expecting much from either the South Alabama out of the Sun Belt, or SIUE out of the OVC. Both towards the bottom rung in my eyes. But I do see value. SIUE coming home after a road trip. They have played the much better schedule. Look for them to take care of business this afternoon. 4* Money Maker SIUE COUGARS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | 49ers +120 v. Texans | 26-16 | Win | 120 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
Taking the NINERS going ML. You can grab 2.5 or 3. But for me, I don't play a dog thinking they are losing by a FG. I think they win outright. As the year winds down I look for good teams to play on. And by good, I mean spot plays. Niners injected new life with Jimmy G last week. No TDs. But the guy had the offense moving. Bears defense at home is pretty tough. We saw them knock off Pitt, Carolina and nearly the Falcons and Vikings. So forgive me if I think he can put a couple in the end-zone vs this Texans defense. I see no quit in SF. Forget their record. They play hard for their coach and now have their QB behind center. Same can't be said for a lost Houston season. Defense again lost with injuries. The loss of Watson at QB, huge. What a job he did. 4* Money Maker SF NINERS |
|||||||
12-10-17 | Raiders v. Chiefs -3.5 | Top | 15-26 | Win | 100 | 89 h 25 m | Show |
Taking the CHIEFS this afternoon. We cashed the Jets last week over KC as we had a nice 6-1 of NFL action. I think we start off today just like last Sunday. Andy Reid handed over the reigns of the offense and Alex Smith aired it out for 4 TDs and 366 yards. We have revenge for that crazy 31-30 loss back in Oakland. Go youtube that ending. Tough for us KC backers. We know that the Chiefs have allowed more than 20 points once (21) in their last 11 home games. After a 5-0 start, the desperation is reaching a fever pitch. Remember that Oakland was in the same desperate hole on Thursday night. They were 2-4 having dropped 4 straight. Now the shoe is on the other foot. 8* Sure Shot KC CHIEFS |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Jets +155 v. Lightning | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Taking the JETS. Maybe this is a sucker line for us to jump on Winnipeg. This team still has 17 wins. I understand they have dropped 2 in row and this is game 3 of their road trip. But I think this is a 'statement' game for them against 20 win Tampa. Jets 4-1 last 5 in Tampa, and road team 7-1 last 8 in series. 4* Money Maker WINNIPEG JETS |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Cincinnati -1 v. Florida | Top | 60-66 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
Taking CINCY here. Florida is in trouble right now. Losing to Loy-Chi. Blowing a double digit lead? Live by the 3, die by the 3. Coach calls his kids soft all the time. Well if they are really marshmallows we will find out in a quick hurry. Angry Bearcats in off loss to X. I think Cincy is a Final 8 team. I think they are just going to man handle the Gators. If I lose this with Florida connecting on 20 3s so be it. 5* Best Bet CINCINNATI BEARCATS |
|||||||
12-09-17 | Wichita State -5.5 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 78-66 | Win | 100 | 19 h 27 m | Show |
Taking WICHITA today. Cowboys came to town, unranked, and dropped 93 on the Shockers last December. I had to go back to the final regular season loss of 2013 to find the last time Wichita gave up 90 points. They got behind 13 in the second half to South Dak State last game and still won by 10. I think they were looking ahead to this trip. Payback time. If Shockers don't win this one by at least 10 I'll be shocked. 10* Money Bomb WICHITA STATE SHOCKERS - even though this is a GOM play as an 11 or 12 unit game. -- We don't bet the house but will put a little more on this game then our usual 10* |
|||||||
12-09-17 | UCLA v. Michigan -4.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
Taking MICHIGAN here. As I have said in previous football and hoops write ups. Give me the unranked team all day long. Plus this UCLA is a mess. Look. Getting rid of the Ball Family is probably a blessing. I mean, the dad says no big deal shop lifting in China. Open a book Mr Ball. Geez. So at least we won't have to endure the freak show with the kids as they will be terrible in Europe. That being said, give me some Beilein at home vs a west coast team playing early game. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Oklahoma v. USC +130 | 85-83 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
Taking USC tonight. I'll tell you this. I was ready to do a write up on the Sooners. I see a 'ranked' team as a dog or pk vs an unranked, and hoops or football I am getting involved. But as I look deeper at this game, I have to go Trojans. This is the proverbial 'circle the wagon' game. You get 5 starters back from a 26 win team and you get high hopes and big heads. Well, you then drop games to Texas A&M and SMU and you are reeling looking at slide out of the polls. Fresh in peoples mind is a 22-3 run by SMU in a 72-55 loss. People think freshman Trae Young is the next big thing off a big PK80 Tournament and his near 29ppg. I see a desperate USC team playing in their backyard in what is 'must win' for them. 4* Money Maker USC |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Wild -116 v. Ducks | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Taking MINNESOTA. This is just one of the teams I like. These guys Nashville. Avs at home have had some value. But the Wild are a team I was high on coming into the season. At 13-11-2-1 not exactly setting the world on fire. A tidy 8-3-2 at home, but 5-8-0-1 on the road including a loss to start this road trip. At this price, I will back them again. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA WILD |
|||||||
12-08-17 | Warriors v. Pistons +6 | 102-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Taking the PISTONS. So, you can say GS is in revenge mode after losing at home 124-107 to these guys back in October. But I think that gives us some confidence. Detroit has played much better at home (8-2) than on the road (6-8). Warriors ending a 10 day, 6 game road trip with a chance at a 6-0 record. But losing Curry I think points out more to what they have to do the entire season. Which is not get injured. I think they were already taking the Cavs approach of, who cares if we lose some games in the regular season. It is about the playoffs and getting back to the Finals. Green missed last game. Iguodala nicked up. To a lesser extent missing Pachulia hurts. Every team is gunning for GS. Every team will bring their 'A' game to knock off the champs. Pistons no different. Not saying they get another outright win. But honestly. Would it really shock anyone to see the Warriors as double digit faves even on the road against 90% of the league? I'm grabbing the hungry home dogs. 4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Saints v. Falcons +109 | 17-20 | Win | 109 | 29 h 52 m | Show | |
Taking the FALCONS. So we had the Saints in a nice win in our 6-1 Sunday of action. But like I always say. It is what people see last. They see New Orleans winning, and the Falcons struggling at home vs the Vikings. This is the season for Atlanta. With a 45% of making the playoffs, they need to win 3 of 4 to have a chance. And facing NO twice and finishing up in Carolina, they will have a shot at getting in. Give me the desperate home team. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS |
|||||||
12-07-17 | Texas-Arlington +3.5 v. Northern Iowa | 58-62 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 16 m | Show | |
Taking ARLINGTON. One of the top mid majors in case you didn't know. But they have been getting some love so hopefully we can still find good value on them in conference play as it approaches. Their 80ppg (49% FG) offense start with PG Neil (13ppg 10astpg) - Hervey and Hamilton inside clear the glass with both at over 8 boards a game and Hervey pouring in 23ppg. Now Northern Iowa finished MVC play last year with the lowest offensive efficiency. Looks like it has carried over to their team 43% shooting and 68ppg. They have a 6'4 guard leading the team in rebounding at over 10ppg. That is a whole lot of missed jumpers drilling off the front of the rim. Koch is really the only guy with a shot that falls on a regular basis (63% FG). I just think that kind of shooting vs a team like UTA will eventually bite you in the rear end. 4* Money Maker UT ARLINGTON |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Washington State v. Idaho -3 | Top | 64-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Taking IDAHO. Love seeing a Big Sky team favored over the PAC 12! As I have said in a previous winning write up with Idaho. This is a deep Vandels team. Should win their conference. Cougars beat them by 13 last year. Time for a little revenge. This is a huge game for the team this year. If they think they are as good as they are suppose to be this season. This is a 'must win' or a 'circled' game or whatever you want to call it. WSU 6-1 and getting points from a smaller school. Love Idaho here. 5* Best Bet IDAHO |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Flyers v. Oilers -122 | 4-2 | Loss | -122 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Taking the OILERS. Flyers finally end their losing streak on Monday night. Edmonton is rested, having last played on the 2nd. Philly won 2-1 back in October on their own ice. Oilers getting ready to head out on a road trip. At this price, we have to take the home faves. 4* Money Maker EDMONTON OILERS |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Kings +13 v. Cavs | 95-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Taking the KINGS. Yeah, these guys are a bad club. Cavs have won what, 12 in a row? I'll tell you why I like this game. I think this is a spot we LeBron get a few extra minutes off. They have the Pacers up next who came into Cleveland and won 124-107 back on November 1st. I think they want to make a statement in that game. Like they have been beating all the teams in the East. So I think we creep inside this number with the back-door open. 4* Money Maker SACRAMENTO KINGS |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Harvard -110 v. Fordham | 47-45 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show | |
Taking HARVARD tonight. I know that the Crimson are struggling a bit. They need to get more efficient putting the ball in the hoop. The below 30% on 3s hurts and we are barely hitting 41% of our shots. Let's not discount the schedule. My pick to win the Ivy, has stepped out to play 6 road games already including a little tourney out in Cali. They beat a better A10 team in St Joe's before losing to the host, Cal State Fullerton. But we also see games against WCC power St Mary's and monster SEC Kentucky. Northeastern is a solid CAA team and I have Manhattan #2 in the MAAC. I just think that Harvard has played a bit tougher schedule so far. Crimson are the better team and should win this one. 4* Money Maker HARVARD |
|||||||
12-05-17 | St. John's v. Grand Canyon +5.5 | 68-60 | Loss | -108 | 15 h 56 m | Show | |
Taking the ANTELOPES late! Yes.. Finally a Grand Canyon lined game. You might not know about the 'Lopes, but I have been waiting for Thunder Dan's squad to arrive. They are now post-season eligible. They have gone 15-15, 17-15, 27-7 and 22-9 under Majerle. They should win the WAC. These guys can play D. They are deep. They have some size. This is nearly a home game just 8 miles from home, while STJ is traveling nearly 3000 miles. I do like St John's. But I like them better in a hunter role, rather than being hunted. Mullin and Majerle should have a 3pt shooting contest at the half! 4* Money Maker GRAND CANYON |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Wild +118 v. Kings | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Taking MINNESOTA. You know I am high on the Wild this year. No shock at me grabbing them as small road dogs. Wild starting a Cali trip. But as I have said before, if we are playing the road team, lets get on them fully focused game 1. We get that here. Wild 4-1 last 5 vs Kings. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA WILD |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Texas A&M v. Arizona +110 | 64-67 | Win | 110 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Taking ARIZONA. Have to tell you. I was ready to grab A&M until I see that they were favored. I think they are a talented bunch. I think they are capable of a Sweet 16 run. They can win the SEC Tournament. But I am on Arizona. They let me down in that OT win last game not covering the number. This is a still a very talented team. Just a little sluggish out of the gate. And again, I am going to be honest here. If they can't pull out the win here tonight, I am really going to reevaluate any thoughts of playing them in the near future. There is a lot more internal problems than I first thought. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA |
|||||||
12-05-17 | SMU +3.5 v. TCU | 83-94 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Taking SMU tonight. Though about TCU with double revenge. But SMU is still forcing TOs and steals so they will be a live dog here. TCU is good club. Should not be back in NIT defending their title. SMU just rolled USC at home who beat them in the NCAAs. So, yeah, I am hoping they aren't flat after that game. They are 8-2-1 ATS last 11 on the road though. They beat TCU by 15 last year and 5 the year before. Not really looking at the long trends since the teams are so different. 4* Money Maker SMU |
|||||||
12-05-17 | UAB +105 v. Troy State | 90-78 | Win | 105 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Taking UAB. I know Troy is defending Sun Belt champs, but I like my Blazers. This is a tough CUSA team. UAB has had Troy's number the last 2 years, and I don't see that changing tonight. 4* Money Maker UAB BLAZERS |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Samford +9 v. Memphis | 64-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Taking SAMFORD here. A little SoCon for a Tuesday night. Not high on Memphis. You know this. We had Mercer ML vs them as a double OT loser last game. Bulldogs have a lot of pieces back from last year. They are one of those tough little middies. Now most times I take my dogs to win outright. But in this case, I think we stay inside this number. 4* Money Maker SAMFORD |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Blues -109 v. Canadiens | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
Taking the BLUES. 3 straight losses and 4 in their last 5 games. But they have had a couple days off to get things straight. This is still a pretty good team. I know Montreal has reeled off 5 straight. But they did drop their previous 5, so they are streaky. Just think the Blues get back in the win column tonight. At this price, we have to jump on the road team. 4* Money Maker STL BLUES |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Jets v. Red Wings +120 | 1-5 | Win | 120 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Taking the RED WINGS. 17 win Jets team as small faves over Detroit who lost 10-1 last game. Winnipeg has lit the lamp 12 times the last 2 games. For me, I am playing any ice team that gets whipped like that their next game. Not even batting an eye on this home dog. Then we see a short line with a team playing as well as the Jets? Maybe it is easy money on the Jets tonight. But in my life, nothing is ever as easy at is seems. 4* Money Maker DETROIT RED WINGS |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Virginia v. West Virginia -4 | 61-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Taking WEST VA tonight. Should be an interesting game. But, I gotta go with my gut here. Line has moved a bit. I see a lot of ML on VA, but spread on WVa. I like Huggins. Worried a bit about their shooting vs a tough VA defense. But WVA can bring pressure themselves. We saw a 49-37 game in Wiscy / Va. So you know they can get pretty ugly. That being said, West Va gets the call. 4* Money Maker WEST VA |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Gonzaga v. Villanova -5 | 72-88 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Taking VILLANOVA. I can't blame anyone for grabbing Zags and the points. It isn't like they are chopped liver. Just back to back OTs vs Florida and Texas. Then a huge second half to beat Creighton. Now flying cross country. This may as well be a home game for Nova and they are no strangers to playing in MSG. 4* Money Maker VILLANOVA |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Vermont +3.5 v. Marquette | 81-91 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Taking VERMONT. How many people are blindly betting on Marquette here. Vermont? Who? What's a Catamount? This is a really top flight mid-major. They have a nice guard in Haynes and an inside guy in Lamb. 4* Money Maker VERMONT |

Taking FLORIDA here. People see 6-0 Seminoles 5-1 Gators. Battle of Florida. I see a team that is clearly better than the other. I think Florida defense is the difference here. Scoring 113 vs Citidel or 98 vs Kennesaw is not playing a team like the Gators. Florida State score 78 vs Rutgers. On the flip side, Gators have been mixing it up vs Gonzaga, Duke and Stanford. Off a tough Duke loss, I think they win this one going away. Maybe run 'Noles out of the building by 20. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS |

12-04-17 | Bruins +105 v. Predators | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Taking the BRUINS. Like this spot for Boston. So, Nashville has a bigger divisional game tomorrow night and off a divisional game. So this could be a flat, or look-ahead or whatever you want to call it. Division games always more important. Bruins have won 6 of 7 and allowed more than 3 goals just once. 4* Money Maker BOSTON BRUINS |

12-04-17 | Missouri State -2.5 v. North Dakota State | 71-58 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Taking MISSOURI STATE. Now, you have seen me back these guys already a couple times this year. I missed them last guy and I hope I am not a day late/ dollar short backing them in this spot. I would have been on them at this price either way, but I would obviously feel more comfortable if we cashed with them last game. That being said. I this this guys are the MVC faves. NDST is in the top tier of the Summit. They did face each other just a couple weeks ago with NDST winning 57-54 as 9.5pt dogs. So I expect the quick angle revenge here tonight. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI STATE |

12-04-17 | Sharks v. Capitals -135 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Taking the CAPS tonight. 3rd game in 4 nights for this Sharks team on the road. They do have some trends working in their favor against Washington. But I am going with the home fave in this spot. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS |

12-03-17 | Eagles v. Seahawks +200 | 10-24 | Win | 200 | 24 h 22 m | Show | |
Taking SEATTLE and going ML. Heck. At 3 maybe I would be interested a tad in Philly. But there is no way I am laying a near TD with this group on the road. Not in this spot. This is a tough place to play. I know the defense is missing a lot of talent. I am not running down their IR list or injury report. Seattle isn't an elite group anymore, but they are good. And this is a pretty disrespectful line if you ask me. And I hate Seattle. I try to go out of my way to find a reason to fade them. But I will grab Wilson in this spot. The kid makes plays. 8 straight wins and covers for Philly. I am bucking that trend and calling home dogs outright on Sunday night. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS |

12-03-17 | Panthers v. Saints -4.5 | Top | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 20 h 22 m | Show |
Taking the SAINTS. Yeah, the win streak is over. But losing to the Rams was expected from me. This is their must win game. They already took care of Carolina on the road and went on a nice run. They win this one and they wrap up the division like an early Christmas gift. Panthers with a lucky cover last week. I think they are in for a battle today. Saints bringing a pretty good run game to counter Brees and his accurate arm. Granted, the NO defense is always leaky. But Cam can bring a clunker when times get tough. 10* Money Bomb NEW ORLEANS SAINTS |

12-03-17 | Browns v. Chargers -13.5 | 10-19 | Loss | -108 | 98 h 39 m | Show | |
Taking the CHARGERS today. Yeah. Big number. Last week we lost with the Bears and Dolphins as big dogs. Pulled out Bills. That being said. The Browns aren't either of those teams. This franchise is a train wreck. 1-26 SU last 27 games. We laid the number with Cincy last week over Cleveland. Let's not forget. Browns BEAT the Chargers last year. What an embarrassing loss for the franchise! Payback time. 4-17 ATS last 21 for Cleveland. Chargers in a groove. Extra rest with win over Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Playoffs are in site. 4* Money Maker CHARGERS |

12-03-17 | Kansas State v. Vanderbilt -113 | 84-79 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
Taking VANDY. I know they are 3-4 so when I say they play a tougher schedule, you think, well, they lost. How good are they? But playing teams like Belmont, the top dog in OVC play who routinely upsets Power 5 teams is good. Playing Southern Cal who should compete for the PAC 12 crown is good. Virginia, Seton Hall. These are tournament teams. Oral Roberts, George Washington, Northern Arizona, Irvine, American and Kansas City aren't. Those are stat fillers and Ws to fill your schedule. K-State's only loss in their 6-1 record was to the only real school they played, Arizona State. Give me the 3-4 home team, with a tough court to play on. 4* Money Maker VANDERBILT |

12-03-17 | 49ers +3 v. Bears | 15-14 | Win | 105 | 40 h 15 m | Show | |
Taking the NINERS here. Should probably just go +140/160 in the ML this afternoon. Look. I just think we have 2 teams, organizations if you will, heading in opposite directions. Where the Bears look to be moving on from Fox, SF is firmly behind its new hire. The players will be extra motivated with Jimmy G getting his first start. The guy looked good in his only starts. Granted. That is with the Hoodie directing the attack. Also. This Bears offense is anemic. How can you trust them laying any points. They had 6 rushing yards last week. Again, I am not saying SF is Philly. But I think we have at least the 'spark and motivation' factor with our QB. I'll take the 1 win Niners. 4* Money Maker SF NINERS |

12-03-17 | Bucs v. Packers -2.5 | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 40 h 9 m | Show | |
Taking the PACKERS. Obviously, we had a nice showing from GB last week in Pitt. I hate just going off 1 game. But after 6 games, you would think he is grasping, or at least, getting better in the system. And let us not mistake Tampa for some great team. I think that HC Koetter could be given his walking papers at the end of the year. The Bucs give up the most yards per game. Tough to not like GB at home laying such a short number. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS |

12-03-17 | Colts v. Jaguars -9 | 10-30 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
Taking the JAGS. Can't believe I am backing Bortles laying this number. But the defense is no joke. And at least for us, the Colts are a complete joke. Jags with the road shut-out 27-0 in Indy. Now home, off a pair of back to back road games going 1-1 ending with a loss in Arizona last week. I think they come out angry. I think that 7-2 in conference play, they need every win they can get with the Titans breathing down their necks here in the South. Jax with 10 sacks in the first meeting. Colts still having problems on the OL as the Titans sacked the QB 8 times last week. Jags 3-0 SU/ ATS after a loss this year winning each game by at least 21. 44-7 over Ravens. 30-9 over Steelers and 27-0 over these Colts. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS |

12-03-17 | Chiefs v. Jets +3.5 | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
Taking the JETS here. Might even go +150 ML today. No way you can step on the KC train right now. Are you playing the they are do card? I get they have some nice weapons. But the run game has been awful. The QB play terrible. And the coaching is just not getting it done. Jets have played hard every game for their HC. This is the joke team that was suppose to go 0-16 or win 3 games this year. Jets have blown 4 4th quarter leads this year. They should be undefeated ATS at home. 4* Money Maker NY JETS |

12-02-17 | Arizona -4.5 v. UNLV | 91-88 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
Taking ARIZONA here. Could have had these guys at -4 last night but just didn't pull the trigger. Not sure why I second guess my initial thought on a game. These guys started the year, what, ranked 2? Then they dropped 3 straight to fall completely out of the rankings. I think this a good team for them to play. Zona likes to force it on defense and I think UNLV will turn it over, and the Zona make them pay. We can't discount how good this team is on 'paper' even the way they opened the season. I think we have a big edge inside to help also. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA |

12-02-17 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +7 | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show | |
Taking WISCONSIN. Well. We can grab the 6.5 or 7, but I am more interested in the +220 ML play. How they heck aren't these guys chomping at the bit to come out and attack Ohio State. Undefeated Big 10 team. Holy Cow. If this was Michigan or Ohio State, forget about it. They would be the #1 seed in the playoffs. But, it's the Badgers. Ho-hum. You can't ask for a better disrespect card to be played. I can't blame you for leaning OSU. Urban Meyer championship games have a knack for scoring a W. But I have seen Bucky lose at home to Oklahoma. I saw them rally to an improbable win over Penn State at home. I saw them, gassed from said win, get absolutely trucked at Iowa. Then come out and totally pound Michigan State into submission after that loss. So who shows up? Not that the 59-0 absolute beat-down OSU gave Wiscy in the 2014 Big 10 Championship Game have any ramifications. But rest assured, oh some old Badger players made the rounds and are looking for a pound of flesh in the revenge world. You look at this Wiscy schedule and see nothing sexy or flashing. Just win after win after win. I will tell you on Sunday night, I said to myself. Yeah, OSU as a TD fave. Should get their. Too much talent. But, the game isn't played on paper. I'll take my ML shot tonight. 4* Money Maker WISCONSIN |

12-02-17 | Fresno State +9 v. Boise State | 14-17 | Win | 100 | 95 h 12 m | Show | |
Taking FRESNO. A quick rematch off of last week's Fresno win. 28-17 doggy outright. What has changed? I think this guys are pretty equal teams. And more importantly for me. The famed 'Smurf Turf' has lost its luster. Boise 3-12 ATS last 15 at home. Maybe this is a huge square play I am getting reeled in on. But I'm biting on the dog anyway. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Miami-FL v. CLEMSON -9.5 | Top | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show |
Taking CLEMSON tonight. Let's start with the Tigers and their 5-1 SU post-season record the last 2 years. Experience. Depth. Those two things alone vault us to a 10pt edge over the Canes. And I'm a U fan. Believe me. I hope that Mark Richt can bring back the glory days of Miami past. But this team is not talented enough to play in this spot. 10-1 is a great year. But really. These guys pulled out some miracles. We faded and played on them in key spots. They have been up and down all year. They bring the show for the marquee teams. Florida State, Va Tech, ND. 2 convincing wins, but a last second one over FSU. How about that win over GT? Or the play down to Syracuse and NC. Again. I just don't think Miami has the horses for Clemson. This is the Tigers 5th ACC Championship Game. The first for the Hurricanes. Tigers have been a top recruiting team for years and Dabo just reloads. With Bama out of the picture, Clemson is the marquee football school. Not Ohio State. This is the 11th straight game week for The U. Clemson had a bye in mid-October. They scheduled a cake walk in mid-November 61-3. The jumped out to a 34-0 lead before South Carolina got a FG on the board in the 4th quarter. This team is rested and focused. Oh, it won't be 58-0 like 2015 when the Tigers mauled Miami on the road. But this should be at least a 14-17pt win for Clemson. 10* Money Bomb CLEMSON TIGERS |

12-02-17 | Akron v. Marshall -5 | 64-86 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Taking MARSHALL. Not sure why this line is moving like it is. Maybe they expect Akron to stink up the place. Because that is what I think. A rebuilding job taking place for the Zips. Marshall with revenge for last years 99-88 game. Major difference this year is that The Herd can still put up 90ppg. We'll lay it. 4* Money Maker MARSHALL |

Taking FURMAN. Money earnin' Furman for us today. I have this guys at the top of my SoCon food chain. We are deep with experienced guys in the back-court. I do love my OVC schools.

Taking ORAL ROBERTS here. Will grab these after I faded them the other night. Not a fan at all of Little Rock. I think they have more work to do than our guys. This is a nice number for us and I won't be shocked if we have a shot at the outright win late. 4* Money Maker ORAL ROBERTS |

12-02-17 | Georgia v. Auburn -2 | 28-7 | Loss | -110 | 92 h 38 m | Show | |
Taking AUBURN. Well. We had Auburn over these guys when the first met. We had Auburn ML last week over Alabama. And will get behind them again as they ride into the Playoffs. I said in August I thought the winner of the Iron Bowl wins the SEC. Not changing now. I know Georgia had a great year. But I don't trust them in this spot. I can't harp on them for their Clemson loss. And I think they learned a valuable lesson up 20-0 in the 2nd quarter before letting LSU claw their way back to a late victory. That kind of loss stays with you and eats at your insides. They have been on a mission since with winning margins of 32, 15 (both on road), 40-17 over this Georgia team, 28, and last weeks 26-14 win over Alabama. Is a true frosh QB ready for this kind of game even with a big revenge angle in his favor? 4* Money Maker AUBURN TIGERS |

Taking CAL DAVIS. Just think we get a little let down game from Washington State. Undefeated. Off a nice 3-0 Wooden Legacy Tourney run. UCD is not a terrible Big West team. They will get up for the PAC 12 and I think 8 is a generous number. 4* Money Maker UC DAVIS |

Taking ST BONAVENTURE. Not sure why we are sleeping on the Bonnies. I think these guys are a pretty good group. I do like Buffalo. They should be the top 1 or 2 team in the MAC. I just think Mobley is the difference maker for us today. 4* ST BONAVENTURE |

12-02-17 | St. Louis +13 v. Butler | 45-75 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Taking ST LOUIS. Just like this group. They have been bad. But I think this is a break-out year for HC Ford and his kids. Butler in off big win over Ohio State. I know they are the 'bigger' name, and people just auto check names as easy wins. I think we keep this one close. 4* Money Maker STL BILLIKENS |

12-02-17 | Bruins v. Flyers -1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Taking a shot FLYERS on the PUCK LINE. 9 straight losses. Yikes! Not that I like to play the 'they are due' card. But a few days off to clear their heads. It is a new month, they are 0-0. Home team has won 4 of the last 5 in the series. OPINION FLYERS Puck Line |

12-02-17 | TCU v. Oklahoma -7 | Top | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 123 h 1 m | Show |
Taking OKLAHOMA. I'll tell you what it really comes down to for me. I know that TCU is the prime defense in the Big 12. But this Sooners offense has been pretty good. We know that Baker Mayfield can move the ball on the Horned Frogs. Do you have that kind of faith in Kenny Hill? I sure don't. 2 years ago it was 49-24 Sooners heading to the fourth quarter. Don't be fooled by a 52-49 final. 64 and 74 yard TD passes for Hill. I know Sooners defense is leaky. But it can be when you have a QB with 37 TDs and just 5 INTs. 8* Sure Shot OKLAHOMA SOONERS |

12-02-17 | Cincinnati +2.5 v. Xavier | 76-89 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 46 m | Show | |
Taking CINCY. Will probably play this on the ML when it is posted. I like this Bearcats team. I know X is a tough out. But I think that Cincinnati has a real chance at a deep tournament run. Tough battle, but I like us to win this thing. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS |

Taking MEMPHIS and grabbing the ML +240/250. Look UCF is undefeated. Nothing negative to really say about the team. They ambushed Memphis with 17 unanswered in the 2nd quarter back in September in rout to a 40-13 win. But this is a talented bunch so I think it worth sprinkle a small unit or 2 on them. Opinion Play MEMPHIS ML |

12-01-17 | Stanford v. USC -3 | Top | 28-31 | Push | 0 | 107 h 43 m | Show |
Taking USC here in the PAC 12 Championship. This is it. Pretty simple thinking for me. Forget the fact that the Trojans beat these guys 42-24 back in September. What really jumps out for me on SC is this. They are off a bye. How huge is this in December! After 12 straight games, a 10-2 record and 4 game win streak, Trojans should have an edge tonight. Stanford in off 38-20 thrashing of Notre Dame. But that game was 20-17 heading into the fourth quarter before 3 Cardinal TDs. Love is a beast RB. Again. I saw USC have 2 RBs go for over 100 vs Stanford when they first met. Plus I saw SC QB toss for 300+ yards while Stanford went for 160. A near 20pt win and your QB has 2 INTs. You take away a 75 yard run for Love and that 160 drops to 85. SC hasn't won the PAC 12 since 2008! Stanford has won it 3 times since then. I know Darnold and the offense is a bit turnover prone. But this is a short number. I can't under-value the extra prep + rest for USC. 5* Best Bet USC TROJANS |

Taking TOWSON here in Ireland! The Belfast Basketball Classic? I don't even have words. Let's get to the Tigers. These guys play hard at both ends of the court. I have them as possibly the #2 CAA team. I have LaSalle pegged for the middle, at best in the A10. Give me the better rebounding team. 4* Money Maker TOWSON TIGERS |

Taking the TRAILBLAZERS. You just finished up a nice 4-1 road trip. 3 straight wins. 5 of 6. 7 of your last 10. You must take care of business vs the Bucks tonight. Milwaukee wrapping up a 4 game 4 game road, 2-1 so far beating the Suns in OT and the Kings. Lost to the Jazz. I think it is safe to say Blazers are the best team they face on this trip. Looking for a big game from Lillard and McCollum tonight. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS |

Taking TEMPLE. Gotta say. I like Dunphy. Guy does a super job with this club. Not that high on Frank Martin. Both these teams, those gritty, fill the stat sheet type clubs. Hustle and ugly. Maybe people think Carolina was in the Final Four so they are that good this year. I think this is a bit of rebuild for them. 4* Money Maker TEMPLE OWLS |

11-30-17 | Redskins v. Cowboys OVER 44 | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 47 h 18 m | Show | |
Going OVER the total here. So. Both these guys on regular rest as they both played on Thanksgiving. Redskins pulled out an ugly win. Cowboys laid an egg in ugly loss. Never have I been a fan of Jason Garrett. Guy is trash. We have all seen the outscored by 72-6 in 2nd half last 3 games. But the guy is a terrible coach. People want to rip Romo. Man. If the guy had a coach who could game plan maybe he would have won a playoff game. Instead, you sent Romo out there to win it on his talent. Well. Dak isn't Romo. And when you have a banged up OL and no RB, it doesn't matter who is behind center, you are in trouble. The defense has been leaky for umpteenth years. Whatever limited hope for a wild-card berth is there, both 5-6 teams will be, safe to say, desperate tonight. I nearly went Redskins. I can see Cousins to Doctson for 3 TDs today. 4* Total Money OVER Redskins/ Cowboys |

Taking the WILD tonight and going PUCK LINE for the big money. I said before that I think it is time to get off the Knights train. What a great feel-good story. But I just don't think this team keeps this pace all season. They are still an expansion team. Wild home after getting smoked 7-2 and 6-3 their last 2 road games. I expect a crisp performance and a 4-1 win tonight. 4* PL Money MINNESOTA WILD |

Taking WILMINGTON. Not sure why this line is getting all the way steamed up. But I would have been involved either way. A bit of a rebuild for NCW. But this team is still a top CAA club. Same can't be said for ECU expected to be a low rung AAC team. 4* Money Maker NC WILMINGTON |

11-30-17 | Kings v. Capitals -125 | 5-2 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Taking the CAPITALS. So the Kings notched a win over the Red Wings to start their road trip. I think that Washington, winners of 3 straight, get it done today. LA is 10-3 last 13 in the series. But as I dig deeper into that trend, I find us some value. Last 3 games here in Washington. 5-0, 3-1 and 4-0 Capitals. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS |

11-30-17 | South Florida +10.5 v. Elon | 78-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Taking SOUTH FLORIDA. Now. I don't have the Bulls high in conference play. And I think Elon will be a top tier CAA team. But I call me a sucker. I don't care. I will take these points. I think SoFla has a shot at an outright win here. Maybe my notes are totally off and we lose by 18. But I see a close game, easily withing a couple buckets. 4* Money Maker SOUTH FLORIDA |

11-30-17 | Texas Tech v. Seton Hall -1.5 | 79-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Taking SETON HALL. Interesting game for sure. Looking at this line move that now has the Hall favored after starting as the dog. I like A&M. They have looked pretty good. But I think the Pirates rate a notch better. This is like a home game for them at MSG. It's their backyard. This is a huge measuring stick for both clubs as they come in 'ranked'. In the end, I think our inside play is the difference. 4* Money Maker SETON HALL |

Taking NEVADA tonight. Big number. Maybe. This isn't 17-1 Missouri Valley Illinois State though. Mussleman just gets these transfers and reloads and reloads. I'll tell you what. Forget about repeating as Mountain West Champs. These guys should be a Final 8 team at the minimum come March. That is how highly I think of the Wolf Pack. 4* Money Maker NEVADA |

11-29-17 | Evansville v. New Mexico -4 | 59-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Taking NEW MEXICO. Would have been a tough spot for Evansville in 'The Pit' even before they lost their leading scorer. Now with Taylor and his 21ppg out, things get even rougher. Now. We have a new coach with Weir coming across from New Mexico State. So the talent level isn't top of the Mountain West caliber. As nice as Evansville 5-1 start is, this team was still one of, if not the worse, in the Missouri Valley. Like I said. Taylor out. Now they have 1 guy scoring more than 9ppg. This is a big must win for the Lobos with a visitor down their star player. 4* Money Maker NEW MEXICO |

Taking the PISTONS. Suns in off a b2b. They won last night in Chicago. Suns will be playing their third game in four nights, fourth in six, and fifth in eight. Detroit beat the Celtics on Monday. If this was the game right after that, we wouldn't be on this spot. But rested, and the scheduling spot for Phoenix, we will back the home team. 4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS |

Taking the THUNDER. So we get the rested Thunder who have sitting around 3 days waiting for a win. And sitting at 8-11, you know they want to start getting things going in the right direction soon. Magic home off a 6 day road trip, dropping all 4 games and now have a 9 game slide. Road faves aren't really my recipe for success. But I will step out of the comfort zone if I think we have an edge. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA THUNDER |

Taking BOWLING GREEN tonight. Ok. This is a weird game for me. I see this double digit number. So I look at where I have both teams. San Jose. Bottom of the Mountain West. BG, below a middle rung, but not a MAC bottom feeder. Then i see last year, San Jose won at home by 1. And the proverbial 'icing on the cake.' Bowling Green, off a home loss, to Abilene Christian?

11-29-17 | George Mason -1.5 v. James Madison | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Taking GEORGE MASON tonight. So I am not expecting much from either team in their conference play. But Madison, in my eyes, is the worse of the bunch. I guess you can think, hey. Low spread. Bad teams. This is one the home team should get. But I have more faith in Mason. They have played some better opponents. In a battle of uglies, we are on the small road fave. 4* Money Maker GEORGE MASON |

11-29-17 | Buffalo v. Niagara +110 | 106-87 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Taking NIAGARA here. So. I do like Buffalo. Think they are right at the top of the MAC. But I am look at some payback from the home team tonight. Revenge on the menu as Bulls won by 10 last year. And they also knocked off the Purple Eagles in 2014. 5 starters back for Niagara. 4* Money Maker NIAGARA |

11-29-17 | Air Force v. Indiana State -6 | 64-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Taking INDIANA STATE. We opened up our College Hoops sports betting season with one of our first wins on the Sycamores upsetting Indiana. We found another great role for them tonight. Now. Normally hate getting on a team that is getting bet up. But I still think we have value here. Indiana State should win this one by 10. We get them off a bad loss to Ball State. So I expect defense to be really turned up a notch tonight. Also. Air Force? I love and RESPECT all my service schools. But they don't have any edge match-ups in this contest. 4* Money Maker INDIANA STATE |

11-28-17 | Loyola-Chicago +4.5 v. Boise State | 53-87 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Taking LOY-CHI tonight. Nearly went +160 ML here. That is how highly I think of the Ramblers. Look. I love me some Missouri State to win the MVC, but these guys. Let's just say I will be heavy on them come conference tournament time. Boise is no slouch. I don't they win the Mountain West, but they should get 20 wins. 4* Money Maker LOYOLA CHICAGO |

11-28-17 | Colorado State v. Missouri State -7.5 | 67-77 | Win | 100 | 17 h 11 m | Show | |
Taking MISSOURI STATE. You know we are on the Missouri Valley tonight. These guys are my choice to win the conference. Not a fan of Colorado State. They will win some games, but I don't think that is in the cards for tonight. They are 3-3 on the year. Just ended a 3 game losing streak beating Northwestern State. Their losses to teams with the same kind of talent I see in Missouri State. Now for a travel update on Colorado State. So they left Fort Collins to head to Montego Bay Jamaica. So that flight is through Kansas City then FT Lauderdale. After losses to Tulane 80-53 and Florida State 90-73, the fun starts. International flight into Houston. Then quick jet over to San Antonio to El Paso. Where, they get on a bus for 50 minutes to play New Mexico State in Las Cruces (89-76 loser). As I said earlier, they then beat Northwestern State at home. Now back on the road to face the Missouri Valley favorites with, Colorado on deck. They haven't shot straight on the road yet. Don't think it improves here. We add in the look ahead and I think the Bears win this one going away. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI STATE |

11-28-17 | Western Michigan +4.5 v. St. Louis | 65-51 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. Again. Maybe I should be just going +170 ML on these small dogs. I like WMU. I think they have a shot (Buffalo) to be the MAC NCAA reps if things fall into place. They have a great player in Wilder. I look at STL. I know they won't be awful like last year. I see improvement. But this is still a middle tier A10 team. And what I have learned over the years. Mid majors who are thought to be conference champions can play and more importantly win on the road vs average Power 5 teams. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN |

11-28-17 | Heat +5 v. Cavs | 97-108 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
Taking the HEAT. I know Miami is a bad team. But do we really have a lot of faith in the Cavs in a back to back? They wheeled out the 'A' Game for the Sixers who everyone is in love with and their young core of players. Now we expect 30 minutes from LeBron against the Heat? When facing the Cavs, like the Warriors, teams will always go 100% when battling a Champ. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT |

11-28-17 | Sharks -111 v. Flyers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show | |
Taking SAN JOSE tonight. Can't have any faith in the Flyers. A brutal loss in OT last night in a game they are up 3-1 heading into the 3rd period. Winless in 8 straight and 9 of 10. Not the ideal spot for the Sharks. This is San Jose's first time on the East Coast since the end of October! But. We are a 4-0 on the 25th so we have a couple days off heading into this. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE SHARKS |

11-28-17 | Baylor v. Xavier -4.5 | 63-76 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show | |
Taking XAVIER tonight. College hoops does not disappoint as we get another marquee game early on. Gotta love these early tournaments, and when teams don't schedule cupcakes to pad wins to their records. So I like X. I do think Baylor is a tourney team. Just not 100% sold on them at this points. Undefeated? Yes. But Alcorn State, Texas A&M CC and Central Arkansas are tune ups. They did hang on to beat Wiscy by 5. A Badgers team who I saw put up 37 points tonight as lose to Virginia. And they battled back to beat Creighton. Again. 2 nice early wins. Now they catch the X off a terrible upset loss to Arizona State in Las Vegas Invitational. Up 2 at half when ASU trucks them for 58 2nd half points to cruise 102-86. I think off that loss, a huge home crowd of support, X should pull away for a 10pt win. 4* Money Maker XAVIER |

11-27-17 | Oakland -7.5 v. Oral Roberts | 93-86 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
Taking OAKLAND here. Big number to lay on the road. But the Grizzlies are the class of the Horizon. They are looking to rebound from a conference tournament showing last year. They are 2-3 out of the gate having dropped 3 straight away from home. They lost to 13 to Toledo after a 5 minute cold spelled doomed them to a 14 halftime hole they would not recover from not making a run. A 24pt loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. And finally getting run out of the building by Kansas to the tune of 102-59. Some of that bad play. But I think that getting Jalen Hayes backs helps a ton. Oral Roberts is a bottom rung Summit team. Last year, Oakland won 92-64. I think this a great spot for them to take out some frustration and get a big win before heading home. They need some momentum and I think this is a great team for them to feast on. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND |

11-27-17 | Blue Jackets v. Canadiens +100 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Taking MONTREAL. Line looks a bit light here so we will be on Canadiens. 15 win Columbus small fave or pk over 9 win team. Blue Jackets have reeled off 6 straight. But, they are home tomorrow. So maybe this is a flat spot in a stand-alone road game. 4* Money Maker MONTREAL CANADIENS |

11-27-17 | Cornell +4.5 v. Duquesne | 78-71 | Win | 100 | 21 h 59 m | Show | |
Taking CORNELL tonight. Ok everyone. Sorry not many write ups over the tournaments Thanksgiving Week. With all the football, plus many lines coming up mid-morning, it is difficult to post some sentences when I am going over 100 games. . So for tonight, a little winner from the Ivy. Now, both these teams I have pegged for the lower rungs of their conferences. But Big Red has a JR G in Matty Morgan who does pretty well for them. The entire team struggled vs Syracuse, but in his other 4 games. 23-24-25-26 points. Also, Cornell now playing their 6th game, while Duquesne just their 4th. They have a brand new coach. And as much success as Dambrot had at Akron, this Dukes team was 10-22 last year. Again, Big Red not any better at 8-21. But catching points, and with players familiar with a system, I won't be shocked if we score an outright win tonight. 4* Money Maker CORNELL |
