01-24-20 | Marquette v. Butler -6 | Top | 85-89 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
Marquette at Butler 9:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Golden Eagles- Like ships passing in the night these two Big East clubs are moving in opposite directions as No. 12 Butler is on a 3-game slide while the Golden Eagles have won their last three. With Markus Howard leading the way Marquette is climbing the conference ladder as he leads the Big East in scoring at 31.7. Butler has shown the ability to bounce back in the past as they are 5-2 following a loss and the Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog. In need of a good effort (specifically on defense) the Bulldogs bite...take BUTLER! |

01-24-20 | Wisconsin v. Purdue -4 | 51-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Wisconsin and Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Badgers- Boy, I hate even thinking about backing Purdue although their one cover in their last six games was a 71-42 Megabucks beating they handed Michigan State. Wisconsin is 7-2 since Micah Potter entered the line-up as the Badgers are off of a school record 18 3-pointers against hapless Nebraska and I expect that performance is fall off a great deal. The Boilermakers have been underachievers to date but are still 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the favorite 5-2 in the last seven. Take PURDUE! |

01-24-20 | Kent State +3.5 v. Buffalo | 70-66 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Kent State at Buffalo 6:30 ET Golden Flashes (+) over Bulls- This one sets up as it should with oner team Kent State coming off three straight losses while the host Buffalo has four straight win under their belt. Not only have the Flashes been losing but their ATS record is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games while the Bulls are just 2-6 ATS after a straight-up win. It's just time that both these team moves toward the middle which means each other. Take KENT STATE! |

The Cougars forced the Shockers into missing 18 consecutive shots and held them to a season's los 30.4 percent shooting from the field. Connecticut is off of a loss to former Big East rival Villanova 61-55 after losing by 23 and 20 points the two previous meetings. Houston is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall but the underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take CONNECTICUT! |

Michigan State at Indiana 8:30 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- Michigan State leads the Big Ten after their impressive 67-55 home win over a hot Wisconsin team rebounding from their 29-point loss at Purdue and have won 9-of-10. Indiana who is 11-1 straight-up at home this season and are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog but just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall and are looking for a better performance. State is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 1-6 ATS as road favorites while the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take INDIANA! |

Despite their slump of late Ohio State is 10-4 ATS as a home favorite and the home team is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the favorite is 20-7 ATS in the last 27 meetings. The 'numbers' tell the tale. Take OHIO STATE! |

01-22-20 | Cincinnati v. Temple +3 | Top | 89-82 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Temple 7:00 ET Owls (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati has won four of five after a slow start while Temple has lost four of five with their lone win over Wichita State at home. The Bearcats like their football team looks good until the pressure is on and then they fold, especially on the road where they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games and 9-21 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The Owls are 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with Cincinnati taking the last two. Bounce back for the Owls here. Take TEMPLE! |

01-21-20 | Texas Tech v. TCU +3 | 54-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 8:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Red Raiders- This pair of Big-12 clubs have the same overall and conference records but have gotten there quite differently. No. 18 Texas Tech has won their last two games by double-digits against Kansas State and Iowa State while TCU is off of losses to West Virginia and Oklahoma by a combined 52 points. Both of those losses were road games where the Horned Frogs are just 1-3 while posting an 11-2 home record. A look here shows that the Red Raiders are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite and 2-6 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

01-21-20 | Wichita State v. South Florida +5 | 56-43 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Wichita State at South Florida 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Shockers- No. 22 Wichita State has dropped their last two to Temple and Houston (Both Megabucks winners) and now they travel to Orlando to face the struggling Bulls. South Florida has lost its last three but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog and a amazing 23-9 in their last 32 games following an ATS win. The Shockers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 road games but are in a funk as of now. Take SOUTH FLORIDA! |

Butler at Villanova 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- A pair of Big East clubs that are changing directions has No. 11 Villanova has won 10 of their last 11 SU while No. 12 Butler has dropped their last two conference games after starting the season 15-1. The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 4-0 as an underdog. The Wildcats who are 31-15 ATS in their last 46 home games have slipped after a straight-up win going 5-12-1 ATS and are just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take BUTLER! |

01-18-20 | Temple +5 v. SMU | 52-68 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Temple at S.M.U 8:00 ET Owls (+) over Mustangs- We had a nice little deal with the Owls this week as they rise to take down Wichita State and now it's off to over-rated SMU who has lost their last two SU and three ATS. Temple seems to play up to their competition and is 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a home winning record over .600 and they are 4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams. If it is to be anybody it is the underrated Owls...take TEMPLE! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Houston +3.5 v. Wichita State | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Houston at Wichita State 4:00 ET Cougars (+) over Shockers- We are celebrating Temple's upset of Wichita State Wednesday while the loser may still be in shock and it may take them time to recover. Houston meanwhile is off of a 71-62 win over SMU where the dominated the boards grabbing a 45-34 advantage. The Cougars are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games and 14-6 ATS against teams with 60% wins. The Shockers surprisingly have a fundamental flaw and have committed more turnovers than assists in eight of their last 10 games. I feel the line is short and it makes the Shockers like inviting. Don't...take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Missouri +7 v. Alabama | Top | 74-88 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
Missouri at Alabama 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- After taking care of business for 'us' last Saturday against Florida the Missouri got pounded at Mississippi State 72-45 and have now lost 3-of-4. Alabama did 'us' a cerise as our Megabucks winner over Auburn last time out crushing their hated rival 83-64. So, it only stands to reason the The Tigers bounce back from a beating and the Crimson Tide ebb out as fall short after a huge win. I can add a lot of other stuff like the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings or more like Alabama is 9-0 ATS at home. See...enough. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Purdue +6 v. Maryland | 50-57 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Purdue at Maryland 2:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Terrapins- This is a tough spot for Purdue as they recovered from their double-over-time loss to Michigan by routing Michigan State 71-42 and now stay on the road against Maryland who has dropped two straight Big Ten games and are 9-0 at home. But they say defense travels well and the Boilermakers can do that holding opponents under 60 points a game. The fact is as well as the Terrapins have played in the Big Ten they are just 1-5 ATS against Purdue and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. This is pot a game you win on paper...Take the BOILERMAKERS! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | West Virginia v. Kansas State +6 | 68-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
West Virginia at Kansas State 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Mountaineers- This is a difficult call as playing against Bob Huggins is always a battle. West Virginia just pounded TCU 81-49 as they held the Horned Frogs to their lowest output of the season. The Mountaineers lead the nation is defensive field goal percent and are second in 3-point defense. Kansas State is 0-4 in Big-12 action and is off of a 30 turnover performance, I expect coach Bruce Weber to have the Wildcats playing fundamental basketball otherwise they get hurt. But, this might help, WVU is 1-7-1 ATS against teams with losing records and the Wildcats (7-9) fill the bill. Take KANSAS STATE! |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Michigan +5 v. Iowa | Top | 83-90 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Michigan at Iowa 9:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Hawkeyes- Michigan who opened the season 7-0 was ranked No. 4 at one time before they hit a wall and are 4-5 SU in their last nine games and have dropped to No. 19 in the national rankings. These two have already met once this season back on December 6 as the Wolverines posted a 103-91 victory over the Hawkeyes who are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. Most would think that Iowa will come up big at home in the second meeting of the season after bowing in the first but Michigan is 10-1-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take MICHIGAN |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Oregon State +3.5 v. Washington | 56-64 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Washington 11:00 ET Beavers (+) over Huskies- Washington has hit a rough patch losing four of five without point guard Quade Green and are now 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a straight-up loss. Oregon State on the other hand is 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 road games overall. Although the Beavers have lost 15 straight to the Huskies in Seattle the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OREGON STATE! |

01-16-20 | Colorado v. Arizona State +2 | Top | 68-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Colorado at Arizona State 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Buffalos- This is the second time that these two Pac-12 clubs will be facing each other this season, the first encounter a 81-71 win by Colorado a game played in Shanghai, China didn't count in the conference standings. The No. 20 ranked Buffaloes are off of a huge 91-52 win over Utah and have won six of seven going 5-2 ATS. The Buffs have won six of the past nine meetings but are 0-6 at Tempe Su in their last six trips to Tempe. Arizona State has had the toughest non-conference schedule in the Pac-12 and that experience will help here. Colorado is just 4-12 ATS in their last 16 as road favorites and 14-37-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall. Take ARIZONA STATE! |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Cincinnati +4.5 v. Memphis | 49-60 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Memphis 7:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Tigers- A pair of the better AAC defensive clubs clash in Memphis where the No. 22 Tigers host Cincinnati who had lost four of six before winning back-to-back games against Tulsa and Central Florida. The Bearcats picked up their defensive effort in those two wins allowing just 44 and 5 points. Kike tonight's opponent Memphis had dropped a pair to Wichita State and Georgia before rebounding for a hard fought 68-64 win at South Florida. Cincinnati's basketball team like their football team struggles against the points spread and are 1-5 ATS on the road and 8-20 ATS overall in their last 28. But, the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take CINCINNATI! |

01-15-20 | Penn State +2.5 v. Minnesota | 69-75 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Penn State at Minnesota 9:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Golden Gophers- Like their football counterpart the Golden Gophers are putting up wins against Top-25 ranked clubs and are off of a 76-67 win over No.19 Michigan. Penn State was 12-2 with wins over Ohio State and Iowa before dropping their last two and dropped out of the Top-25 rankings. Now, 2-3 in Big Ten action the Lions has slumped at 1-4-1 ATS in their last six overall but are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 road games. Take PENN STATE! |

01-15-20 | Auburn v. Alabama +2.5 | Top | 64-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Auburn at Alabama 9:00 ET Crimson Tide (+) over Tigers- For a team that is 15-0 straight-up No.4 Auburn has been nothing but mediocre ATS going 8-7. The Tigers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 road games but are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites. The goof here is that Alabama is 8-7 SU but a huge profit making 12-3 ATS on the season. As a matter of fact the Tide is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 8-0 ATS in their last eight games at home. Auburn is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings but get caught in a rivals nest. Take ALABAMA! |

01-15-20 | Wichita State v. Temple +4.5 | 53-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Wichita State at Temple 9:00 ET Owls (+) over Shockers- This really is a tough call as the No. 16 Shockers are a tough bunch and are continually under-rated as they are the lone undefeated (3-0) AAC team left with Temple at 1-3 with three January losses. Wichita State is battle tested and has the second longest true road winning streak (8-0) in the nation is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 as visitors. The Owls who lead the conference in 3-point defense (28%) scrap back and are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 after a double-digit loss. Ad that the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEMPLE! |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Indiana +3.5 v. Rutgers | 50-59 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Indiana at Rutgers 7:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Let me start by saying that I don't understand the 'move' that has been made on the Scarlet Knight here against Indiana. The Hoosiers have rebounded from a pair of losses two Arkansas and No. 17 Maryland before defeating Ohio State on Saturday. Rutgers reeled off seven straight wins since December 11 but were upended at Illinois Saturday but they are 8-0 ATS in their last eight and 9-1 ATS in their last 10. Indiana is just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall but are 7-2 SU in their last nine Big Ten games. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Maryland +3 v. Wisconsin | 54-56 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Maryland at Wisconsin 9:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Badgers- No. 17 Maryland looks to rebound from their worst Big Ten offensive performance in six years scoring just 49 points in their loss to Iowa. Wisconsin who has won five of six since the return of Micah Potter are still just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Although the home team is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings and the Terrapins are 0-3 in their three true road games after their performance last time out I expect this to go down to the final horn...take the points with MARYLAND! |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Texas Tech v. Kansas State +3.5 | 77-63 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Kansas State 8:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Red Raiders- These two Big-12 competitors are both on the wrong side of streaks with the Red Raiders having lost to a pair of ranked teams No. 2 Baylor and No. 12 West Virginia while the 7-8 Wildcats have lost three straight and five of six. Texas Tech opened Big-12 play with a rout of Oklahoma State 85-50 their most lopsided Big-12 win in school history. Tech has struggle as a favorite this season going 1-7 ATS in their last eight in that role. Kansas State hasn't been any better in the opposite role going 1-6 ATS in their last seven as an underdog. Wildcats coach Bruce Weber admits he was disappointed State's second half performance against Texas and vied that they would be better tonight. Take KANSAS STATE! |

01-14-20 | Louisville v. Pittsburgh +6.5 | Top | 73-68 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
Louisville at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Cardinals- No. 11 Louisville has won their last two games including a thrilling 67-64 win at Notre Dame after consecutive losses to Kentucky and Florida State while Pittsburgh is off of a lackluster performance at Miami where they fell behind 16-0 to start the games and started the second half on the wrong end of a 16-4 run. The Cardinals who 6-2-1 ATS as favorites are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games when playing a team will a winning home record. The Panthers have struggled as an underdog going 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 in that role and just 1-5-1 ATS as a home dog. But, the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and with Putt's poor effort last time out I believe they will be ready tonight. Take PANTHERS! |

01-12-20 | Utah v. Colorado -7.5 | Top | 52-91 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
Utah at Colorado 6:00 ET Buffaloes (-) over Utes- Colorado got the tough part done by defeating ranked Oregon 74-65 and then fell against the lesser Oregon State 76-68. For Utah it has been just the opposite as they lost to Oregon and defeated Oregon State. This line appears a bit 'strong' to me as Utah is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games and 7-2 ATS as a road underdog but the favorite and the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Although the Buffaloes are just 3-7 ATS as a home favorite but they are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games at home. Take COLORADO! |

01-12-20 | Michigan State v. Purdue +4.5 | Top | 42-71 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show |
Michigan State at Purdue 12:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- I'm still sick about losing with Purdue (+5.5) in double-overtime 84-78 last time out but have the solace that 'we' won with MSU easily last time out. The Spartans are 5-0 in Big Ten play and lead the nation in assists with 19.8 per game while Purdue has won 14 straight conference games at home. Michigan State is just 1-5 ATS as road favorites and the home team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Purdue is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 home games and 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up loss.

Florida at Missouri 8:30 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- After a mini 4-game win streak the Tigers have dropped their last two losing at Kentucky and at home against Tennessee. Florida has won their last three and after falling to Butler and Utah State. The are Gators 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games but are currently just 1-4 After a straight-up win. The Tigers are 7-4 SU at home and are in a great spot to pul off the upset. Take MISSOURI! |

Texas Tech at West Virginia 6:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Mountaineers- A pair of Big-12 teams that do something their football counterpart don't do and that is...play defense. No. 21 Texas Tech fell to Baylor (Megabuck winner) and now will bounce back at West Virginia who lead the conference in field goal defense 35.7 no matter as the Red Raiders are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and West Virginia is 9-20-2 ATS at home and 7-15-1 ATS on Saturday's. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Oklahoma State at Texas Christian 2:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Horned Frogs- Oklahoma State has taken it to the road where they are 6-1 TAS in their last seven games TCU is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five after a straight-up win. Horned Frogs enter with three straight wins and a big one for us last week while the Cowboys have dropped their last two. Line seems shy and I expect OK State to snap their two-game slide. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-11-20 | NC State +2 v. Virginia Tech | 58-72 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
N.C. State at Virginia Tech 2:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Hokies- Last season when these two met Virginia Tech held NC State to 24 points the lowest amount scored by a ranked team in the modern shot-clock era. The Hokies do it with defense as they average the fewest turnovers in the nation at 9.8 and rank second with fouls committed and are third in assist/turnover ration at 1.61. The Wolfpack who lead the series 40-17 have revenge on their minds are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and Tech is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take N.C. STATE! |

01-11-20 | Baylor v. Kansas -7.5 | 67-55 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Baylor at Kansas 1:00 ET Jayhawks (-) over Bears- Baylor has never won at Kansas (0-17) Bears are 5-0 ATS on the road Kansas is 4-1 ATS in their last five at home and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. The road team is 21-8-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. So, my question is why is this line so high when Baylor has defeated four ranked teams on their 11 -game winning streak. Kansas is 32-5 all-time against Baylor with 13 of 14 games decided by double figures. Take the JAYHAWKS! |

The Bulldogs are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall a including 5-1 ATS on the road and 9-4 ATS as a favorite. Providence can counter with the fact that the the home team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take PROVIDENCE! |

Note that the Terrapins are just 1-4 ATS as road favorites and that Iowa is 6-0 ATS following an ATS loss and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. Take IOWA! |

Arizona at Oregon 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Ducks- This is a rarity a pair of Pac-12 teams that are both ranked in the Top-25 as No. 9 Oregon hosts No. 24 Arizona. The Ducks took both end meetings last season and have won the past three meetings but the Wildcats lead the overall series 51-32. The trends here do the Wildcats no favors as they are 1-8 ATS in their last nine road games and 0-5 ATS after a straight-up win. Oregon on the other hand is 20-6 ATS as favorites and 25-10 ATS in their last 35 home games. The Wildcats who missed the Big Dance last season is on the comeback trail...take ARIZONA! |

Purdue is off of a humiliating 63-37 loss at Illinois where they set a school record for futility by shooting just 25% from the floor. The Boilermakers are 4-0 ATS in their last four after a SU loss but just 3-9-1 ATS in their last 12 as a road underdog. Michigan is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 home games and are 10-1 ATS after a SU loss but are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning record. This one should play close. Take PURDUE! |

Oklahoma at Texas 9:00 ET Sooners (+) over Longhorns- History of late does not favor the Sooners as they have yet to beat the Longhorns in Texas under Skaka Smart's reign going 0-5 SU. The ironic thing about this match-up is that they both have the exact same straight-up (10-3) and points spread records (4-9). The ATS records of these two is dismal with Oklahoma 0-6 ATS in their last six and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 while Texas is 2-8 ATS in their last 10. At 0-1 in conference Texas is 18-5 all-time in Big-12 openers. But there is a history in this series where the underdog is 12-3 ATS in the last 15 meetings with the road team 7-3 ATS. Take OKLAHOMA! |

01-08-20 | Illinois +4.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 71-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
Illinois at Wisconsin 9:00 ET Illini (+) over Badgers- After a shaky start to the season Wisconsin has put together four straight impressive wins including a 61-57 win at Ohio State last time out and a 20-point win over Tennessee. Made up the slack with two other centers down. Illinois has dropped 15 straight to the Badgers and just ended a 4-game losing streak with a great defensive effort against Purdue. Wisconsin has won all eight home games by double digits and yet with this series (15-0) streak going this 'price' is very cheap. Don't get sucked in the Wisconsin is coming off of their biggest win of the year. Take ILLINOIS! |

Kansas at Iowa State 8:00 ET Cyclones (+) over Jayhawks- The No. 3 Jayhawks have won seven of eight including a conference opening home win over West Virginia meanwhile Iowa State has dropped their last two including a 81-79 loss in overtime at Texas Christian. Kansas was able to overcome a 10-point Mountaineers lead and were led by center Udoka Azubuike who leads the nation in field goal percentage at 81.1. But Iowas State is 5-1 ATS in their last six after a SU loss and the Jayhawks are just 3-10 ATS on the road. Take IOWA STATE! |

TCU at Kansas State 9:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Wildcats- It is difficult to grasp how a team can play 13 games into January and have played just one true road game. TCU is 10-3 SU but only 4-8 ATS overall with their lone road game ending in a 62-60 loss at lowly Clemson. The Horned Frogs have shown point spread inconsistency going 1-7 ATS after a straight-up win. Kansas State doesn't seem to have the firepower of years past as they are just 7-6 SU and a miserable 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games and 2-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

Baylor at Texas Tech 9:00 ET Bears (+) over Red Raiders- How many of 'us' realize that Baylor is the No. 4 ranked team in the nation and have defeated three Top-25 ranked teams including Butler,Villanova and Arizona. Texas Tech who is 58-5 at home including 23-5 in Big-12 action but are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall and just 1-6 ATS ad favorites. Baylor who is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games is 3-1-1 ATS as a road dog and 11-5-1 ATS as an underdog in their last 17. Note that the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take BAYLOR! |

01-07-20 | Kentucky v. Georgia +3.5 | 78-69 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Georgia 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- Georgia should be brimming with confidence after upsetting No. 9 Memphis on their home floor 65-62 as they look to host Kentucky in their SEC opener. The Wildcats opened conference play with a 71-59 win over Missouri after back-to back non-conference losses to Ohio State and Utah. After an extended home stand Kentucky has struggled their next time out on the road going 0-3-1 ATS. Georgia has responded when playing better clubs as they are 4-1 as a home underdog and the home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take GEORGIA! |

01-07-20 | Villanova +2 v. Creighton | 64-59 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Villanova at Creighton 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Blue Jays- Villanova is a long way off from their National Championship years as they continue to struggle on the road where they are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 away from home and 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine overall. Creighton is 5-1 ATS in their last six overall including their last time out a loss to Butler and are 4-0 ATS as home favorites. Although the 'numbers' are ugly on the Wildcats side they are a more than respectable 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Big game experience will be the difference. Take VILLANOVA! |

01-07-20 | Ohio State +3 v. Maryland | 55-67 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Maryland 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Terrapins- Both these clubs jumped out of the gate winners as the Buckeyes were 9-0 before tasting defeat and have dropped three of their last five. Ohio State started the same way last year and then lost five straight in January once Big Ten action was under way. Maryland won their first 10 before losing two straight before rebounding with a win over Indiana. OSU is 4-1 ATS in their last five as underdogs and are 9-3 ATS overall and Maryland is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Take OHIO STATE! |

West Virginia at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia has already had a 'comeback' season at 11-2 as they were 15-21 under Bob Huggins. Oklahoma State was blown out in their Big-12 opener 85-50 by Texas Tech as they scored just 20 points in the second half but respond after defeats going 6-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. That fits well with against the Mountaineers who are 8-17-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite and the fact that the Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-05-20 | Michigan v. Michigan State -9 | Top | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 1 h 1 m | Show |
Michigan at Michigan State 1:30 ET Spartans (-) over Wolverines- Wait a second here...my first thoughts when viewing this matchup is that the line is awful high considering the rivalry between these two schools. Then when I noticed that #13 Michigan the heavy underdog is ranked higher than the #16 Spartans and that peaks my interest. This 'price' draws even more thought when I see that Michigan is 10-4 AST as an underdog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, so why such a high line. After a rocky start Michigan State has reeled off six straight wins with the last winning by an average of 35.5 points. State is 21-10 ATS in their last 31 home game and are 23-8ATS against teams with winning percentage about .600. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

San Diego State at Utah State 10:00 ET Aggies (+) over Aztecs- One of the two remaining undefeated teams No. 12 San Diego State travels to Logan to play Utah State who is undefeated 8-0 at home. The Aggies may have gotten caught in a look-ahead situation last time out as they fell at UNLV 70-53 and never really get it a shot. Last season's Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Sam Merrill was held to 10 points in Las Vegas and I expect a huge rebound game from him here. SDS is 5-0 ATS in their five road games as favorites but the home team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two. Utah State is 5-2 ATS as home dogs and get the money here. Take UTAH STATE! |

Missouri at Kentucky 2:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Kentucky is coming off of a 78-70 overtime win at home Saturday their tenth straight home game and they have a victory over then No. 1 Michigan State as well. Missouri who opened the season 4-4 with losses to Xavier, Butler and Illinois have now won four straight and are 6-1 ATS following a ATS win. The Wildcats are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and are 1-4 ATS against a team with a winning record. The bad news for Missouri is that the home team is 7-0 ATS in the past seven meetings. Still, the Tigers are now playing with confidence and will take this one down the the final buzzer. Take MISSOURI! |

Iowa vs Penn State 2:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- Two more Top-25 ranked teams in the Big Ten hook-up at the Palestra in Philadelphia a place where neither of these two teams have much experience. Both clubs are on 4-game winning streaks with Penn State's biggest win over Maryland at home and Iowa has wins over Cincinnati and Minnesota. After that win State vaulted into the Top-25 the first time that they have been ranked since 1996. Iowa is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games on neutral sites while the Lions are 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games overall. The Hawkeyes are led by Big Ten leading scorer Luka Garza who is averaging 21.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. More big game experience for the Hawkeyes. Take IOWA! |

St. Mary's at San Francisco 11:00 ET Dons (+) over Gaels- Oh gone are the glory days of Bill Russell and K.C. Jones (some need to look that up) when the Dons ruled the college basketball world. Still, at 11-4 San Francisco has become more respectable and are looking to compete in the West Coast conference against the likes of Gonzaga, Brigham Young and tonight St. Mary's. The Gaels have won four straight and 9-of-10 with the lone loss to No. 20 Dayton and are undefeated since. San Francisco is off of an overtime loss to a tough Harvard team but are 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Oregon State at 10-2 brings in the conferences second leading scorer in senior forward Tres Tinkle averaging 20.4 points per contest and making 49.1% of his 3-point attempts. Utah has a 18-13 series advantage and are 13-2 at home against the Beavers but Oregon State won last year and they do it again tonight. Take OREGON STATE! |

Harvard at San Francisco 9:00 ET Dons (-) over Crimson- Sunday I thought it odd that Harvard was favored on the road against a Pac-12 team in California and they delivered with a 71-63 win over the Golden Bears. Now, Harvard going to San Francisco where the Dons have struggled as a home favorite 3-8 ATS and the Crimson are 21-5-1 ATS as road underdogs. But, what gets me here is that the Crimson are favored and defeat a Pac-12 club and yet come up and underdog against a West Coast Conference team. Take SAN FRANCISCO |

Seton Hall at DePaul 8:30 ET Pirates (+) over Blue Demons- This is a comeback in epic proportions as DePaul has pulled themselves up from the depths and are 12-1 on the season. The Blue Demons who went three years winning only four Big East conference games are hosting Seton Hall who has the Big East's preseason player of the year in Myles Powell. Powell has missed the last two games (both wins) because of concession protocol and status is still questionable. This is the Big East opener for both and the Pirates are 7-2 ATS in conference openers under coach Kevin Willard. The Demons have made a leap this season but fall short here. Take SETON HALL! |

12-29-19 | Arkansas +6 v. Indiana | 71-64 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
Arkansas at Indiana 6:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Hoosiers- A pair of unranked teams with each with a single loss meet for the third time in the past year with Arkansas winning the regular season match last November and Indiana getting the best of the Razorbacks in the NIT. Not only are their records similar but both teams received the lone losses on December 7 and neither has played since winning on December 21. For Arkansas the trends are not very pretty as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and they are 0-5 ATS after a straight-up win while the Hoosiers are 5-1 ATS at home. The tide turns here...take ARKANSAS! |

Harvard at California 6:00 ET Crimson (-) over Golden Bears- Really now...it seems a bit 'off' that in this meeting of the 'minds' has Harvard an Ivy League school favored on the road 3,000 miles from home against a major conference the Pac-12. This even becomes more interesting when 'we' see that the Bears are 6-1 SU at home and the Crimson are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. This one smells worst than Boston's and Berkley's politics. Take HARVARD! |

To start with here the Huskies are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games while Hawaii are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Washington has won their last two following a hard fought loss against Gonzaga and may actually lose this game on the floor (take the points). Take HAWAII! |

Yale at Clemson 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- The first thing that drew me to this contest is that an ACC club is such a meager favorite over an Ivy League school. I mean Yale is 9-3 and has won six straight but hasn't played since December 11 when they defeated U Mass. The Bulldogs have three losses two of which came against major conferences as they lost to Oklahoma State and Penn State before starting their current win streak. Clemson had lost four straight before upending mighty Jacksonville. Tigers have no bite and the claws don't exist. Tae YALE! |

Northwestern at DePaul 8:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Blue Demons- This is a battle of Chicago schools and right now it appears that DePaul has the edge sporting an 11-1 SU record while Northwestern is struggling at 5-5. The home team is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings but the Wildcats have been favored in the last six meetings. That will be the difference here as their roles have been reversed.

The Bluejays are a bit under-sized and are averaging 79 points per game but are 1-2 SU on the road while the Sun Devils are 29-6 in regular non-conference games in the past three seasons including 18-1 at home.

San Diego State vs Utah 6:30 ET Aztecs (-) over Utes- Undefeated and No. 20 ranked San Diego State (11-0) gets a shot at Utah who is fresh off of an upset win Wednesday night over Kentucky. The Utes shot 55% for that game including 60% with 3-pointers and I don't expect them to have that kind of success against State's defense which ranks 13th nationally surrendering just 56/6 points per contest while holding opponents to 36.7% field goal rate and just 25.8% froM behind the arc. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |

Purdue vs Butler 2:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1y Butler has just one blemish on their record as they dropped a 53-52 decision at No. 10 Baylor and have shown grit in that loss. Purdue at 7-4 has player the tougher schedule and have defeated then undefeated and No. 7 ranked Virginia. The Boilermakers rely on their defense that allows opponents just 59 points per game and they hold opponents to 24 percent shooting from behind the arc. Take PURDUE! |

The Jayhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five games and the visitor is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings but the underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.

12-19-19 | Maryland v. Seton Hall +6.5 | 48-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Maryland at Seton Hall 7:00 ET Pirates (+) over Terrapins- I was so looking forward to this match-up as Seton Hall is one of my 'dark horse' clubs that could surprise opponents all season. But, an issue has come up with the Concession suffered by their leading scorer and best all-around player Myles Powell who is averaging 21.2 points per game. Maryland is off of their first loss of the season to Penn State (Megabucks winner) while the Pirates are off of a loss to Rutgers (Money Game winner). With or without Powell the Big East Player of the Year the Pirates are the side as they are 7-1 ATS at home as an underdog and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take SETON HALL! |

St. Mary's has one of the top guards as well in Jordan Ford who is averaging 20.4 points while shooting 50.3% from the field. The fact that the Gaels are favored in Arizona raises my eyebrows.

The Tar Heels are beset with injuries and cold shooting but have defeated the Bulldogs in their last three meetings. Bad news for the Tar Heels is that are 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 games as a road underdog but coaching and pride will keep this one close. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

The Volunteers who play great defense is shooting just 42% from the floor and have yet to allow 70 points to an opponent this season. The Bearcats had a five-point lead with just over a minute to go and allowed Colgate to score the final six points for a 67-66 loss. Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall while Cincinnati is just 2-10 in their last 12 as an underdog and only 8-23 ATS in their last 31 games overall.

The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this season and are coming off of a 31-point win over Texas Rio Grande Valley but will be facing tougher competition tonight who lost to Wichita State 80-75 as they faltered in the final minutes.

Houston meanwhile has won four straight behind 6'5” guard Nate Hinton who leads the Cougars in points and rebounds. Houston is 38-2 SU in their last 40 games at home and is ranked 10th nationally in offensive rebounds averaging 14.5 per contest.

State has won three of the last four meetings but covered on once and the Wolfpack is 0-5 ATS when play a team with a better than .500 record.

State's lone loss came at the hands of West Virginia but they do own a win over Oklahoma State and are aware that they have never defeated both Oklahoma schools in the same season.

Rutgers on the other hand has a balanced attack that has nine different players seeing at least 10 minutes playing time each game.

Golden Hurricane coach Frank Haith has had to use four different line-ups rotating nine players and still hasn't found the combination he needs. Boise State has the leading MWC scorer in Derrick Alston Jr. who is averaging 21.4 points and has scored at least 20 points in all but one game.

Undefeated (9-0) No. 19 Butler is 7-2 ATS on the season with a huge win last time out 76-62 over Florida. No.11 Baylor has reeled off six straight wins including a win Saturday 63-58 over Arizona with their losses against ranked Gonzaga and Washington. This appears to me to be an especially 'high' number as the Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and because Baylor is 3-7-1 in their last 11 as a home favorite. Yet this is just Butler's second true road game and that will hurt them here, Take BAYLOR! |

The seven other teams that the Red Storm have defeated have a 20-41 straight-up record but are 52-25 SU against the Ivy League. Brown (5-4) who has yet to 'Cover' 0-6 ATS on the road but are 6-1 ATS after a straight-up loss while St. John's si 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win. Take BROWN! |

Penn State at Ohio State 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio Shocked the ACC world by going to North Carolina and dismantling the No. 7 Tar Heels 74-49 to move to 8-0 on the season. Both these clubs pride themselves on their defense as Ohio State holds their opponents 10-points below their season's average and the Lions allow just 61.8 points per game. Coming off of such a huge win over Carolina the Buckeyes should be a bit full of themselves and may get caught in a Big Ten conference game. Take PENN STATE! |

Duke at Michigan State 9:30 ET Spartans (-) over Blue Devils- The Big Ten/ACC Challenge continues in East Lansing tonight as No.8 Duke (7-1) is up against No.12 Michigan State. To start with this 'price' seems a bit high for a lower ranked team favored like this against a Top-10 ranked club especially when you consider that Duke is 4-0 in this Challenge matchup and that the Blue Devils are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 against the Big Ten. Michigan State is 18-8 ATS in their last 26 home games and should be able to handle a team that lost at home to Stephen F. Austin. This is the first true road game for Duke and they will play accordingly. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

Wake Forest vs Arizona 9:00 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Wildcats- No.14 Arizona is an impressive 8-0 on the season going 5-3 ATS and are striving for their first Wooden Legacy in Anaheim, California. Wake Forest is a respectable 5-2 on the season and 3-0 SU and ATS on neutral sites. The last time these two met was in New York 15 years ago so their should be little motive for revenge as the Deacons prevailed 63-60 as a beaten 6-point favorite. This time it stays close once again.

Brigham Young vs. UCLA 11:30 ET Cougars (+) over Bruins- Ah Hawaii, the site of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational pits a pair of West coast clubs from California and Utah clash in a neutral setting. ULCA is coming off of a 1-point loss to Hofstra and I am pissed that 'we' passed by it but the story be told the Bruins are not a powerhouse this season. BYU is also off of a loss but their's came in overtime against Boise State.UCLA coach Mick Cronin admitted that the Bruins got exposed by the Flying Dutchman. Take BYU! |

Mississippi at Memphis 1:00 ET Rebels (+) over Tigers- Okay, we all know the story by now that James Wiseman's NCAA career will probably be less then 20 games after his 12-game suspension was handed down. No. 20 Memphis and has just one upperclassman on the floor and will mature as the season progresses. Mississippi is 4-0 and this 'price' is very short as they have won all four games by double-digits.Take MISSISSIPPI! |

11-17-19 | Florida v. Connecticut +4.5 | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Florida at Connecticut 4:00 ET Huskies (+) over Gators- One of the reasons handicapping NCAA basketball early in the season is so difficult is because of the media's influence with their opinion on teams ratings. This often comes into conflict with a teams actual abilities and the Vegas odds. Florida opened the year ranked No. 6 and haven't met expectations at 2-1 SU and 0-3 ATS and are playing their first road games today. Connecticut is 8-1 the past two seasons when playing home games at Gampel Pavilion. Take the HUSKIES! |

Minnesota at Utah 9:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Utes- Utah won for fun last time out defeating Mississippi Valley State 143-49 after running out to a 70-20 halftime lead. That means the Utes scored more points in the second half which started with a 50-point lead. I believe the competition will become a little tougher tonight. Minnesota opened with a win at home over Cleveland State but have lost a pair of away games to Oklahoma and Butler ( Megabucks winner). The Golden Gophers defeated the Utes last season 78-69 and have held opponents to just 61.7 points per games this season. Take MINNESOTA! |

Michigan State at Seton Hall 8:30 ET Pirates (+) over Spartans- It has been a tough opening week for Michigan State as the nation's first No. 1 ranked team suffered an opening loss to Kentucky and then the day before their second game against Birmingham Spartans All-American senior guard Cassius Winston's younger brother died. MSU coach Tom Izzo is trying to rally his club emotionally but they will be playing with heavy hearts. Seton Hall ranked No. 12 may be without start guard Myles Powell who sprained his ankle on Saturday. No, matter... Take SETON HALL! |

11-13-19 | LSU v. VCU -2.5 | 82-84 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
L.S.U. at V.C.U. 6:00 ET Rams over Tigers- This is a homecoming of sorts for LSU coach Will Wade who led VCU to a pair of NCAA berths in his two seasons there before leaving for LSU. The Tigers dominated the SEC last season going 16-2 and were defeated in the Sweet-16 losing to Michigan and they have a huge attrition problem. Gone are four starters a pair of starting guards and forwards for the Tigers and that may be just too much to overcome. On the flip side the Rams return four starters all of whom averaged double-figures last season for a club that won 25 games last season. Take VCU. |

11-12-19 | Minnesota v. Butler -7.5 | 56-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Butler 8:30 ET Bulldogs (-) over Golden Gophers- Let me start by saying that I thought this was a 'high' price to pay if you wanted to take the Bulldogs and that was before I realized that they are playing at a neutral site. Butler is 2-0 with a pair of 'covers' against local junior varsities while Minnesota was defeated by Oklahoma 71-62. It doesn't seem reasonable for this 'number' being this high other than the offs makers expect the Bulldogs to bite. Take BUTLER! |

Texas Tech vs. Michigan State 6:09 ET Red Raiders (+) over Spartans- This should be a great one as Michigan State comes down off of the beating of Duke everybody's favorite to win the tournament while Texas Tech who won the Big-12 regular season title in making their first Final-Four appearance after taking down Gonzaga while Tom Izzo personally is making his eighth appearance. Both clubs are on fantastic ATS runs as Tech is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 and the Spartans are 26-9 ATS in their last 35 games overall. This is a game that should go down to the final buzzer and the points have value but may not even Be needed. Take TEXAS TECH! |

04-06-19 | Auburn v. Virginia -5 | Top | 62-63 | Loss | -115 | 28 h 5 m | Show |
Auburn vs Virginia 6:09 ET Cavaliers (-) over Tigers- Auburn is riding the longest win streak at 12 among the Final-Four having defeated NCAA powerhouses Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky and now face what many believe is the weakest of the four No. 1 seeds in Virginia. The Tigers have depth and they will need it as their top player Chuma Okeke is out as they face one of the nation's top defenses. Virginia allows only 55.4 points per contest while Auburn is surrendering almost 71 points per game. Following trends won't help much as the Tigers are 8-2 ATS in their last 11 while the Cavaliers are 45-20-1 ATS in their last 66 overall. That is a stronger resume...take VIRGINIA! |
