Utah at T.C.U. 8:00 ET Utes (+) over Horned Frogs- This game is being played at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth but is considered a neutral site. TCU is 6-1 SU but have struggled to get the 'money' as they are 1-4-2 ATS and are 5-0 SU at home. Utah is 0-1 in true road games losing at USC but are 2-0 at neutral sites and are 5-2 ATS after an ATS loss. TCU has little to brag about as they are 1-6 ATS against winning teams and 9-24-2 ATS in their last 35 games as favorites including 0-4 ATS as neutral site favorites and are 0-2-2 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

Texas Tech vs Tennessee 7:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Volunteers- This should be a good early season matchup as both clubs are 6-1 AU and 4-3 ATS with both clubs coming off their first true road games of the season. The Vols had better fortune coming from behind to win at Colorado while the Red Raiders blew a lead a Providence and fell 72-68. This game is at Madison Square Garden and Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and although Tennessee is 4-1 ATS as neutral site favorites they are 2-7 ATS after a ATS win.

Vanderbilt at S.M.U. 6:00 ET Commodores (+) over Mustangs- SMU is a 'perfect' 6-0 SU at home but against the number they have been a nightmare for their backers as they are 2-4 ATS at home and 2-7 ATS on the year. Vanderbilt is 5-1 on the season and have won their only true road game at Pittsburgh 68-52 aided by Scotty Pippen Jr. who lead the Commodores is scoring.

Syracuse at Florida State 4:00 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Syracuse enters its ACC opener after a huge double-overtime win over Indiana after getting blown out by Auburn in their previous game. The Orange (4-3) are led by a clan of Boeheim's as Buddy and Jimmy Boeheim scored a combined 53 points against the Hoosiers. Florida State is off a loss to the No.2 team in the nation getting trounced by Purdue 93-65 and now the Seminoles come up strong favorites in their conference opener.

Wake Forest at Virginia Tech 2:00 ET Hokies (-) over Demon Deacons- Wake Forest climbed to 7-1 with a 77-73 win over Northwestern Tuesday in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge while Virginia Tech won for 'us' over Maryland Wednesday 62-58. Virginia Tech may have made some changes in football but their basketball remains the same...lay tough defense. The Hokies who score at 70.3 PPG allow only 53.4 No. 2 in the nation and are 4-0 SU at home. The Deacons are 1-6 ATS in their last seven as underdogs and the Hokies are 5-1 ATS as favorites. The beat goes on...take VIRGINIA TECH! |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Oregon State +2.5 v. California | 61-73 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 44 m | Show | |
Oregon State at California 10:30 ET Beavers (+) over Golden Bears- Oregon State made it to the Elite-Eight last season and now are in danger of losing their seventh straight after an opening game win. The Beavers problem seems to be protecting the ball and trusting teammates as they have more turnovers than assists and are shooting just 28.8% of their 3-point attempts. California hasn't been much better turning the ball over 87 tines with only 66 assists. The Beavers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 road games and 22-7 ATS as roda underdogs. Take OREGON STATE! |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Wisconsin v. Georgia Tech +3.5 | 70-66 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Georgia Tech 9:15 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over over Badgers- The Badgers won three games to win the Maui Invitational in Las Vegas (go figure) and it was their fundamentals that carried them to the Championship making free throws and not turning the ball over. Georgia Tech meanwhile has won five straight after an opening game loss to Miami-Ohio. Although Wisconsin has played on neutral sites this is their first true road game and hey are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games after a SU win and the Yellow Jackets are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

Virginia Tech at Maryland 7:15 ET Hokies (+) over Terrapins- Tech opened the season with five straight and then went to Brooklyn to play in the NIT Tip-Off and were defeated by a pair of quality teams losing the Memphis 69-61 and Xavier 59-58. Maryland is 5-2 and off loss to Louisville 63-55 getting out-rebounded 51-25. The Terrapins are 1-6 in this Big Ten-ACC Challenge. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Cincinnati at Miami-Ohio 7:00 ET Red Hawks (+) over Bearcats- With all the attention on Cincinnati directed toward the football field the Bearcats basketball team is yearning for some attention. The Bearcats opened the season with five straight wins and have now dropped their last two losing to No. 13 Arkansas in Kansas City and then shocked by Monmouth-NJ (+11) 61-59. Miami-O also started the year 5-0 but dropped their last contest at Western Illinois 79-67 their first road game of the season. Now, back home with the Cats playing their first true road game...take MIAMI-OHIO! |

11-30-21 | Duke v. Ohio State +2.5 | Top | 66-71 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
Duke at Ohio State 9:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Blue Devils- Duke took the main stage in Las Vegas playing before the state of Nevada's record crowd for a basketball game (20,389) against No. 1 Gonzaga Friday night. The Bulldogs were undefeated and coming off a thrashing of No. 2 UCLA in Las Vegas Tuesday night. Ohio State hasn't been so fortunate dropping two of three including a 71-68 loss to No. 23 Florida on a 3-point buzzer-beater. Although Duke is 19-3 in the Challenge the Buckeyes are 9-11 defeating North Carolina and Notre Dame the last two events. OSU is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Northwestern +2 v. Wake Forest | 73-77 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Wake Forest 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Demon Deacons- When I look at these two schools I think that I would mind seeing these two compete on the gridiron but they make for a pretty food cage match-up as well. Both clubs have only one loss with Wake's coming their last time out against LSU in the Emerald Coast Classic otherwise they are 5-0 at home. This will be the Wildcats first true road game of the season and although I for the most part like to play against such situations as the Wildcats are 4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Take NORTHWESTERN! |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Minnesota v. Pittsburgh +2.5 | 54-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Golden Gophers- This one seems a bit short, the line that is. Minnesota (5-0) visits Pittsburgh where the 2-4 Panthers have lost all 3-of-4 games by double-digits. The Golden Gophers have held their last two opponents under 50 points defeating Jacksonville and Purdue Fort Wayne but are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games. Pitt has struggled with departures, injuries and suspensions are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six at home. With the Gophers defense and the Panthers weak offense this should be low scoring but the short price give the home side a chance. Take PITTSBURGH |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Oklahoma v. UCF +1.5 | Top | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 2 m | Show |
Oklahoma vs Central Florida 2:00 ET Knights over Sooners- Under coach Johnny Dawkins Central Florida is 4-0 for the first time in four years and will be hosting a 5-1 Oklahoma team playing their first true road game. Being on the road is a place the Sooners would rather not be as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games overall and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as favorites. The Knights are 4-1 as underdogs and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Ohio State +2 v. Florida | Top | 68-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
Ohio State vs Florida 8:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Gators- No. 23 undefeated Florida (4-0) takes on 4-1 Ohio State in the Beach Division Championship Game in the Fort Myers Tip-off. The Gators just had a walk-over game cruising 80-60 over California to get here with the Buckeyes showing toughness in their 79-76 win over No. 21 Seton Hall. OSU is 8-5 over the Gators in their 13 series meetings and I like the team that hard the tougher road to the finals. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Virginia +3 v. Providence | Top | 58-40 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
Virginia and Providence 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Friars- Virginia who is not far removed from their National Title has won six tournaments in their last seven November tourney championships one of which came over Providence. The Friars are undefeated (5-0) but are 3-4 lifetime against Virginia and are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games on neutral sites including 0-5 Ats as neutral site favorites. Despite the Cavaliers struggling of late as they are1-4 AST in the last five at neutral sites they game the money here. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
11-20-21 | North Carolina +6 v. Purdue | 84-93 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
North Carolina vs Purdue 4:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Boilermakers- North Carolina starts the season with a rookie head coach in Hubert Davis while Purdue starts with 17 year veteran Matt Painter at the helm. Both clubs are 3-0 with the No. 5 Boilermakers averaging 94.7 PPG while scoring over 90 points in all three of their home wins and going 2-1 ATS. The Tar Heels are putting up 90.3 PPG while shooting 52.8% from the field and are 0-3 ATS. This is the third meeting between these schools all on neutral sites with Carolina winning both November games played in 1998 in New York and 1999 in Honolulu. Purdue is 0-4 ATS in their last four games at neutral sites while the Tar Heels are 3-1-1 ATS at neutral sites. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

11-17-21 | Michigan State v. Butler +3.5 | Top | 73-52 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Michigan State at Butler 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Spartans- Both of these schools have a rich basketball history with Michigan State being more renown having won a number of national championships but the Butler Bulldogs on a smaller scale has had achieved many accolades throughout their history. The Spartans opened the season at Madison Square Garden against Kansas and hung tough for the first half and then fell to the Jayhawks 87-74 but they won their home opener 90-46 over Western Michigan. Butler is 3-0 having won three home games against lesser competition and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs while the Spartans are 4-13 ATS as road favorites. Take BUTLER! |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Illinois -7.5 v. Marquette | 66-67 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Illinois at Marquette 7:00 ET Illini (-) over Golden Eagles- Both of these Clubs are 2-0 and haven't really played any competition as of yet as No. 11 Illinois defeated Jacksonville State and Arkansas State by a combined 62 points and both wins came at home. Marquette tow home wins came over Southern Illinois and New Hampshire both were non-cover victories. The Golden Eagles have won 4-of-5 meetings but the Illinois holds a series advantage of 9 wins to 5. Defense will be the difference and the Illini allow just 50 ppg and keep opponents at 33.6% shooting and the Eagles rank 253rd in rebound differential while Illinois is No. 8 with 48.5 rpg. Take ILLINOIS! |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Florida State v. Florida +1 | 55-71 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Florida State at Florida 1:00 ET Gators over Seminoles- No. 20 Florida State sent four players to the NBA and it appears that they haven't missed a beat as in their opener by defeating Penn 105-70. Florida who has lost seven straight to the Seminoles got by Elon 74-61 on Tuesday and returns six seniors or graduates to play this season. It was against FSU a year ago that Keyontae Johnson collapsed and sent the Gators season into turmoil. Although the Tribe lost their top four scorers from last season they just reloaded with a crew of 5-star recruits. But, not today...take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-13-21 | UCF +2.5 v. Miami-FL | Top | 95-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
Central Florida at Miami-Fl 1:00 ET Knights (+) over Hurricanes- Miami coach Jim Larranaga are looking to improve upon a disappointing 2020-21 season by using the transfer protocol adding four 'new' players and the return of a number of injured players from last year. Central Florida unlike the Hurricanes bring back almost all their scoring and playing time from an 11-12 club last season. They have added 6-11 transfer Cheikh Mbacke who was team captain last season and he started with five blocked shots in the Knights opening victory over Robert Morris. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Kentucky +3 v. Duke | Top | 71-79 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Kentucky vs. Duke 9:30 ET Wildcats over Blue Devils- This one tips off the college basketball season at Madison Square Garden between No. 9 Duke and No. 10 Kentucky as both schools are seeking bounce back seasons. Neither club make to the NCAA tourney last season as the Wildcats finished 9-16 and the Blue Devils 13-11 but were denied a spot because of a rash of COVID infections. Coach Mike Krzyzewski enters his 42nd and final season at Duke (47 total) and is no stranger to playing at MSG but will follow this contest with five straight at home while the Wildcats will play their next seven games in Lexington. Kentucky has added three transfer players from West Virginia, Davidson and Georgia and their previous experience should be the difference. Take KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga -4.5 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
Baylor vs. Gonzaga 9:20 ET Bulldogs (-) over Bears- This is the game we have all been waiting for (at least I have), especially since the early game scheduled between these two was canceled. Except for a short spur when Michigan was showing their best Baylor and Gonzaga have been the two best teams in the nation. We finally broke through with a win against the Bulldogs as they were lucky to escape with an overtime win against a 'game' UCLA team. Baylor had no such issues with Houston and manhandled them from start to finish! The Zags have won all five previous meetings with the dog Houston going 4-1 ATS. Not to worry here. The Bulldogs bite...take GONZAGA! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | UCLA +14.5 v. Gonzaga | 90-93 | Win | 100 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Gonzaga 8:35 ET Bruins (+) over Bulldogs- During the regular season if you played on Gonzaga you probably split out as they were 12-12 ATS but since the NCAA's they are 4-0 ATS and it hasn't been close. If you played the Bruins you were no better off as they closed with four straight losses and were 12-14 ATS entering the tournament. When I watch UCLA I see quick hands and defensive speed against the ball which has given opponents fits. But, they have only one player in double figures scoring against Michigan and that won't cut it here. Large points there is way to go...take UCLA! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston +5 v. Baylor | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 11 m | Show |
Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET Cougars (+) over Bears- Baylor has been the No. 2 team in the nation the entire season and with a cancelled game against Gonzaga they got to 18-0 before a 23-day break because of COVID protocols. Once returning to action the Bears didn't seem to be the same but the 'Big Dance' has brought out the best in them as they have reeled off four straight wins and eight in their last nine games. Houston meanwhile has been lurking around the entire season and have won their last 11 and bring the nation's No. 2 scoring defense into this fray holding opponents to 57.6 PPG. Baylor of course has the No. 3 offense averaging 85.3 PPG while shooting 43% from 3-point range. But, the Cougars are No. 1 in FG defense allowing just 37% from the floor. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
03-30-21 | UCLA v. Michigan -6.5 | 51-49 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Michigan 10:00 ET Wolverines (-) over Bruins- The idea that UCLA is playing for a spot in the Final-4 has left many experts with reds faces. First, we heard how no team with an extra play-in game has never won more than one game in the tournament and here we are with Bruins wins over Michigan State, BYU, Abilene Christian and Alabama. UCLA is extremely quick and have great 'hands' on the ball defensively but the Wolverines play the same tough defense that has kept the total 'Under' in 12 of their last 14 games overall and are 13-4-2 ATS in their last 19 NCAA Tournament games as favorites. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
03-30-21 | USC +8.5 v. Gonzaga | 66-85 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
USC vs Gonzaga 7:15 ET Trojans (+) over Bulldogs- Southern Cal knows how to play defense as they have held their last seven opponents under 40% shooting from the floor and they will be tested by the nation's leading scoring team averaging 90.5 PPG. Undefeated Gonzaga has 'covered' all three NCAA tourney with little competition presented to them so far. The Bulldogs lead the country in 2-point field goals shooting percentage at an amazing 63.6 while the Trojan defense holds opponents to 41.5% on field goal tries. This one will be closer than most think. Take USC! |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Arkansas v. Baylor -7.5 | Top | 72-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
Arkansas vs Baylor 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Razorbacks- Baylor has been ranked No. 2 or 3 the entire season despite losing 23 days of action because of virus issues and it has taken them four weeks since returning to play before they got their 'mojo' back. And they have it back now! The Bears are 9-3 ATS on neutral sites and 21-10 ATS against winning teams above 60%. Granted Arkansas is no push-over, as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. This one is just about the Bears coming together at the right time. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Oregon State v. Houston -7.5 | 61-67 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Oregon State vs Houston 7:15 ET Cougars (+) over Beavers- Houston has a chance to make the Final Four for the first time in nearly forty years and if the do it will have been the first team to get their by only beating double-digit seeds. The Cougars have defeated No. 10 Rutgers, No. 11 Syracuse and will now dispose of No. 12 Oregon State. Hey, how about the Pac-12 being rated the worst major conference in the nation leading the pack with four teams among the Sweet-16. They lost one club last night when it took another Pac-12 club tp eliminate Oregon as USC advances. Okay, the Beavers are the biggest surprise of the tourney as they wouldn't have qualified if not for winning the conference playoffs. The dam brakes here and the Beavers get trapped. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
03-28-21 | UCLA +7 v. Alabama | 88-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Alabama 7:15 ET Bruins (+) over Crimson Tide- UCLA closed their season with four straight losses before getting a chance as an 11th seed play-in game team and defeated Michigan State. Note, that all four losses came against tournament teams in Colorado, Oregon, USC and Oregon State as of which advanced in the tourney with at least one win. No team that has had to play that extra play-in game have ever advanced to the Elite-8 so the odds are daunting for the Bruins. UCLA is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 as underdogs but just 10-21 ATS as neutral site dogs. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Florida State +2 v. Michigan | Top | 58-76 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Florida State vs Michigan 5:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Wolverines- This one could end up the best game of the day as No. 1 seed Michigan hosts No. 4 Florida State. Michigan who will be without their best shooting guard Isaiah Livers (43.1% from 3-point range) but finished top rated status with FG (48.5%), free throw (78%) and 3-points (38.5%). Florida State prides itself on their defense holding opponents to 39.3% FG on the season and seem to play their best in this position. Florida State is not only 3-1-1 ATS in their last five as NCAA Tourney underdogs they are 21-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs. Tale the SEMINOLES! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Syracuse v. Houston -6.5 | 46-62 | Win | 100 | 29 h 10 m | Show | |
Syracuse vs Houston 10:00 ET Cougars (-) over Orange- No. 2 seed Houston was fortunate to escape Rutgers pressure defense out-scoring the Scarlet Knights 14-2 down the stretch to eek out a 63-60 victory. Syracuse an 11-seed is familiar with double-digit seeds in the NCAA's and have made the Sweet-16 under coach Jim Boeheim 20 times last winning the gold led by freshman Carmelo Anthony. Houston is seeded No.2 for a reason despite not having played the schedule the level of Syracuse they have won nine straight and will smother Buddy Boeheim on defense. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oral Roberts v. Arkansas -11 | 70-72 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 41 m | Show | |
Oral Roberts vs Arkansas 7:25 ET Razorbacks (-) over Golden Eagles- Back in December these two met in Fayetteville and the Razorbacks (-19.5) prevailed 87-76 but this time the Eagles are on a 7-game win streak going 6-0 ATS in their last six overall with wins over Ohio State and Florida. Arkansas meanwhile slept walked through their win over Colgate and then nipped Texas Tech 68-66 after losing to LSU in the SEC tourney. Razorbacks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Take ARKANSAS! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Mississippi State v. Louisiana Tech +1.5 | Top | 84-62 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 34 m | Show |
Mississippi State vs Louisiana Tech 3:00 ET LT Bulldogs (+) over MS Bulldogs- A pair of No. 4 seeds meet but the only reason MSU got anything that high is because of the SEC strength of schedule, but they aren't all that good. LT is 23-7 and isn't worried about the SEC as they opened the tournament with a 70-61 won over Mississippi. Tech is 15-3 in their last 18 contests. Imposter MSU is 2-9 ATS after SU win while LT is 11-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take LOUISIANA TECH! |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oregon State v. Loyola-Chicago -6.5 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -113 | 22 h 4 m | Show |
Oregon State vs Loyola-Chicago 2:40 ET Ramblers (-) over Beavers- Oregon State was picked to finish 12th in the Pac-12 and are a 12-seed here against No. 8 Loyola-Chicago and are one of the biggest surprises of all Tournament teams (except ORU). The Beavers are 20-9-1 ATS on the season and 19-6 ATS in their last 25 although they rank 213th on offense. I mention that because the Ramblers the nation's leader in defensive points allowed at only 55.7 PPG and I still believe in defense. Sister Jean remember the only meeting between these two on Dec. 31, 1927 a 30-19 Loyola victory. They do it again...LOYOLA-CHICAGO! |
|||||||
03-25-21 | NC State v. Colorado State +2 | Top | 61-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
N.C. State vs Colorado State 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Wolfpack- The Rams have had a decent season winning 19 of 25 games playing a schedule that doesn't compare with the riggers that NC State must go through. The Wolfpack are an unimpressive 14-10 winning six of their last seven to climb above .500. Although the Pack played a harder schedule you have to win more of those games against tougher competition. NC State is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and not for nothin the Rams are 26-9 on Thursdays. Take COLORADO STATE |
|||||||
03-25-21 | Mississippi State v. Richmond +2.5 | 68-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Mississippi State vs Richmond 6:00 ET Spiders (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State bounced back from their humbling 85-48 loss to Alabama in the SEC tourney with a 74-68 win over St. Louis in the first round of the NIT. The problem for the Bulldogs (not only their atrocious offense) but they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after a SU win. Richmond who lost to St. Louis 72-67 a month ago is off a stellar performance against Toledo in Rd 1 of NIT 76-66. The Spiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs at neutral sites. Take RICHMOND! |

03-23-21 | Pepperdine -4 v. Bellarmine | 82-71 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Pepperdine vs Bellarmine 8:00 ET Waves (-) over Knights- Well, at least I've heard of Pepperdine and have actually seen them play basketball and few times when they came to play UNLV (ah those were the days when you could actually attend a game). Bellarmine it seems is a small Catholic school in Louisville, Kentucky with just 2,488 students at least five of which play basketball and well enough to win 14 of 21 games this season including an pair of wins over Kennesaw State, Jacksonville State and Northern Arizona and a tournament win over Army. The Wave meanwhile at 13-12 have had a year of ebb and flow but have gone 15-7-1 ATS on the season and are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 overall. The tide is high for the Wave at neutral sites where they are 15-2-2 ATS while the Knights will get weighed down with all that armor they are wearing. Take PEPPERDINE |

Ohio vs Creighton 6:40 ET Blue Jays (-) over Bobcats- Ohio overcame a 38-31 deficit with a 16-2 run over a weakened Virginia team that had no practice time and players down with virus protocol. Creighton has had their own issues with their coach getting suspended because of racial slurs made to players at practice and eked by Cal-Santa Barbara 63-62 after getting blasted by 25 points in the Big East Tournament by Georgetown 73-48. The Blue Jays were believed to be the class of the Big East until their late season stumble and still are. Take CREIGHTON! |

Wisconsin vs Baylor 2:30 ET Badgers (+) over Bears- No. 1 seed Baylor had their undefeated season (18-0) side tracked when they were hit with COVID protocols and had a three week recovery period and haven't been the same since. The Bears showed signs of their former level of play in their opening round 79-55 win over Hartford. Wisconsin meanwhile is the sole Big Ten left if the region as both Purdue and Ohio State were upset on Saturday. The Badgers are 10-4-3 ATS in their last 17 games as neutral site underdogs and 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. Baylor is 1-5 ATS in NCAA Tournament games when favored. Take WISCONSIN! |

Loyola-Chicago vs Illinois 1:00 ET Ramblers (+) over Illini- Many see this as the biggest game in the 'Land of Lincoln' this season as No. 1 seed Illinois will host Loyola-Chicago the 8th seed with the winner advancing to the Sweet-16. These two met in the postseason in the 1963 NCAA Tournament and the Ramblers won on their way to the National Championship and the look to return to the Finals for the second time in four years.

UCLA vs BYU 9:40 ET Cougars (-) over Bruins- UCLA was a huge winner for 'us' coming from 14-points behind in the second half to win in overtime defeating Michigan State for their first win in four years. The Bruins had lost four straight before their rally against the Spartans but they have been inconsistent all season and will fall to a more disciplined squad here. UCLA is 9-21 ATS in the last 3-games on neutral sites and now 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as NCAA underdogs. BYU finished the season with a conference finals loss to Gonzaga 88-78 the closest game for the Bulldogs all season and are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 games following a SU loss.

St. Bonaventure vs L.S.U. 1:45 ET Bonnies (+) over Tigers- This is the one that gets to me on Saturday as LSU from the big and bad SEC is barely favored over an Atlantic-10 team that hasn't been to the 'Big Dance' since 1996. The Tigers are off an 80-79 loss in the SEC Finals to Alabama has left them wounded while St. Bonaventure is buoyed by the fact that they are a 'double-champion' winning both the regular season and conference championships. Bonnies are 10-1 ATS at neutral sites and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall. LSU is just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take ST. BONAVENTURE! |

03-19-21 | Rutgers v. Clemson +2 | 60-56 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
Rutgers vs Clemson 9:20 ET Tigers (+) over Scarlet Knights- This matchup is one of the more confusing encounters with No. 7 seed Clemson an underdog to No. 10 Rutgers who is making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 30 years. That caught my attention because I believe that the oddsmaker knows more than the seeding committee and they made the lower seeded team the favorite. Okay, so why is the public running toward the Scarlet Knights? Clemson has won six of their last eight games and are 6-1 ATS at neutral sites and 19-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five games on neutral sites. Take CLEMSON! |

Wisconsin vs North Carolina 7:10 ET Badgers (+) over Tar Heels- Both of these clubs have been nothing if not underwhelming and their respective seeding with North Carolina No. 8 and Wisconsin No. 9 and each with double-digit losses on the season. This is the third NCAA Tournament meeting between these two but the others were deeper into the tourney meeting in 2005 in the Elite Eight with the Tar Heels winning and 2016 Sweet-16 win for the Badgers. Wisconsin played on this floor in Mackey Area losing to Purdue on March 2. The varmints are 14-6-2 ATS in their 22 NCAA Tournament games and 9-4-3 ATS as underdogs at neutral sites. Tar Heels are just 1-4 ATS in their last five tournament games. Take WISCONSIN! |

Tennessee the disgusting Volunteers who blew a 15-point second-half lead to Alabama and are blessed with a 5-seed because the Beavers don't belong here and will get skinned. Vols looking to complete the task against a case of 'mistaken identity'...Beavers are imposters and will get pelted here. Take TENNESSEE! |

They both limping into the tournament and are both lucky to be here as the Spartans finished under .500 in Big Ten action and UCLA was comes in losing their last four games overall. UCLA has five players that average double figures in scoring and lead the NCAA in offensive efficiency but their slow and deliberate play has keep their overall scoring low. The Bruins are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. MSU is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games overall but just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the six meetings. Take UCLA! |

Toledo is 15th in the nation averaging 81.3 points per game and Richmond isn't far behind are 75.6 PPG. Both clubs shot well from the free throw line and from the field and have excellent ATS records. The Rockets are 20-9 ATS in their last 29m overall while the Spiders are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 outings.

Georgia Tech vs Florida State 8:30 ET Yellow Jackets vs Seminoles- Florida State is in the unique position with a 'double-bye' and COVID issues of having to win only two games to be crown ACC champions. Georgia Tech has been an outlier the entire season and split the two meetings with each squad winning as hosts. The Yellow Jackets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and they are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games after an ATS loss. The Seminoles are 11-5-3 ATS in their last 19 games at neural sites.

Tennessee vs Alabama 1:00 ET Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- One of these teams will reach the SEC title and 'we' are wondering if either of them will know what to do when they get there as it have been decades since either school have won the SEC Championship. It has been over three decades since Alabama has won the conference tournament while Tennessee hasn't won since 1979. The Tide are coming off their fourth win by 30-points or more as they destroyed Mississippi State 85-48 and have won four straight and 7-of-8 but they are just 2-6 ATS after holding opponents to less than 50-points.

Wake Forest vs Notre Dame 7:00 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Fighting Irish- Being the opening round of a tournament where four-teams get 'Double Byes' the records of these opponents isn't very good and in some cases it's down right terrible and I could say Wake for entering 6-15 and has lost seven in a row and the first was an OT loss at Florida and but the last six have been by 16, 18, 21, 18, 13 1nd 23 going 0-6 ATS in the last six. Now, Notre Dame has been no prize either sure winning their last game against Boston College but they gas dropped three straight entering that fray. Although the game is in the Carolina's and you need a 3.9 GPA to be accepted to Wake Forest those numbers do not compute on the court. Take the FIGHTING IRISH! |

The Blue Devils have lost their last three and in the season finals against arch rival North Carolina they were blown out from start to finals and ended up losing by 18. Boston College can only dream of Evan and Kacvance and Driscoll as they have dropped 14 of 16 straight-up and although they payed the Blue Devils to an 83-82 loss (+12) at Chapel Hill they will succumb here.

(But, I forget a lot...) Both Pittsburgh and Miami coming limping into the ACC playoffs with the Hurricanes off on the right foot with a win over Boston College last Friday ending a six-game losing streak. The Panthers have lost 6-of-7 as well including a 77-62 beatdown by Clemson last Tuesday the team they will meet if they survive here. But, alas...they won't! This is the worst season in Miami basketball in 27 years and it was due more the most part by players losing time with the virus and a season ending injury in early December to All-ACC guard Chris Lykes. Jim Larranaga is too good a coach to end the season without a win here. Canes 7-2 SU in last nine meetings over Panthers and 8-3 ATS last 11. Take MIAMI-FLORIDA! |

So, bad has it been for youthful Duke that they are only 2-9 ATS against teams with winning records. But, they can safe face with a win here against their hated rival as the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the Tar Heels are just 3-13-1 ATS against teams with losing road records and the Devils are just 3-5 on the road.

Wisconsin at Purdue 9:00 ET Badgers (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue is one of the better and unheralded Big Ten clubs that has added depth to the nation's deepest conference and have won three straight and 4-of-5. The Boilermakers began Big Ten play 2-3 and have gone 9-3 since and are 9-1 SU at home. Wisconsin who many (including myself) expect more from this season have lost three of four after dropping a 74-69 decision to Illinois and are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games after a loss. Purdue is just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games although the home team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. No matter here...it's WISCONSIN! |

Indiana at Michigan State 8:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- Both of these former Big Ten powerhouses are off losses with the Hoosiers having lost a season high three in-a-row while Michigan State was pounded by Maryland Sunday ending a 3-game win streak. Two of the Spartans wins came over a pair of Top-5 ranked teams Big Ten teams Illinois and Ohio State and well as a 78-71 win at Bloomington 10 days ago. Both of these clubs are on the NCAA 'bubble' and will need to close the season with wins here and in the conference playoffs. Indiana is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 11-5 ATS after a SU loss while MSU who is 10-3 SU at home is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games, 5-15 ATS in their last 20 overall and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 as favorites including 1-7 ATS as home favorites.

South Carolina snapped a six-game losing streak by a dominating 91-70 rout at Georgia Saturday and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall and are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after a loss.

Arizona at Oregon 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Ducks- Oregon has won 7-of-8 and will be playing against UCLA on Wednesday in a game that will most likely determine the Pac-12 Champion. The Ducks have won the last six meetings SU and 9-of-11 against the Wildcats including a 63-61 win at Tuscon two weeks ago. This will be the final game of the season for Arizona who has a self-imposed one-year ban on postseason play and are excited to end their season on a positive note. In what may or may not have value Arizona is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Monday games while the Ducks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight Monday games. Oregon is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games as favorites and the road team and underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take ARIZONA! |

Rutgers at Nebraska 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Nebraska had lost five straight and 14 of their last 15 games before upending Minnesota 78-74 at home Saturday and I must note that the Golden Gophers are winless (0-9) on the road. Rutgers who's season had been on a downward swing since being ranked early in the season had lost 3-of-4 before rallying from 15-points down against Indiana Saturday winning 74-63. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and should get the money here. Take NEBRASKA! |

North Carolina at Syracuse 7:00 ET Orange (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina ended a 10-game losing streak against ranked opponents with their come-back win over Florida State on Saturday helping complete 'our' 5-1 winning day. The Tar Heels are one of the better rebounding teams in the nation and will be up against a Syracuse team that lost to Georgia Tech Saturday and were outscored 54-24 in the paint. NC trailed the Seminoles by 16-points but had four freshman lead the comeback by scoring in double figures. They won and covered the first meeting between these two (-5) 81-75 in Chapel Hill and have won 10 0f the last 11 meetings with the Orange straight-up. Carolina is 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games after a SU win and 2-8 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records.

Iowa at Ohio State 4:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Buckeyes- These two Top-10 ranked Big Ten clubs are both coming off losses as the Buckeyes have dropped their last two after winning seven in-a-row losing to Michigan and Michigan State while Iowa also fell to Michigan last time out. The Hawkeyes are 14-4 after a SU loss and seem to play well at the weeks end and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games on Sundays and Ohio State has responded well after a SU loss going 7-1 ATS in their last eight after a defeat. This should be a tough hard fought game with both clubs looking to remain in the Top-10 but one will obviously fall after today's game and I'm looking for the Hawkeyes to survive. Take IOWA! |

Michigan State at Maryland 2:00 ET Terrapins (-) over Spartans- It has been an unusual season for Michigan State and Tom Izzo as they were ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation early on and have won their last three games after falling to 4-9 in Big Ten play. Wins over Indiana, No. 5 Ohio State and No. 6 Illinois have given the Spartans life with a dash of hope that they can continue the NCAA tournament streak going as they have qualified every year since 1997. Maryland is well rested having played last seven days ago and have won four in-a-row and are 4-1 ATS on Sundays. The Spartans are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. Take MARYLAND! |

Cincinnati who have won two straight after a season worse 90-52 loss to Houston are just 7-19 ATS after a SU win and a dreadful 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games. The Tigers meanwhile are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MEMPHIS! |

02-27-21 | Alabama v. Mississippi State +6 | 64-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Alabama at Mississippi State 6:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- aside from Gonzaga and Baylor, Alabama has had the best run of ant school this season and they are just one win away from clinching their first SEC regular season title since 2002. This is their second opportunity to clinch as they were taken out 81-66 at Arkansas on Wednesday as they committed 32 fouls allowing the Razorbacks to attempt 43 free throws. Mississippi State who just mover over .500 with two consecutive wins have done it with defense as they are one of the worst shooting teams in the nation and are at 65.4% from the free throw line. But they can play defense allowing just 65.6 points per game and dominated South Carolina on Wednesday forcing the Gamecocks to miss 44 of 62 shots from the floor. The Tide are used to playing for championships in the SEC on the gridiron but in the cage not so much. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

Louisville at Duke 6:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Blue Devils- The Blue Devils have won and 'covered' their last four and are doing it in impressive fashion including a win over No. 6 ranked Virginia. Louisville meanwhile has alternated wins and losses in the last five games and recovered from a horrific 99-54 loss at North Carolina where at one point the Tar Heels had a 50-point lead but the rebounded with a convincing 69-57 win over Notre Dame on Monday. The Cardinals get it done with defense and they can play it well enough to keep this one within the 'number.' Take LOUISVILLE! |

Florida State at North Carolina 4:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Seminoles- Florida State has a chance to win their second consecutive ACC regular season title and I was a betting man I would wager that you didn't realize that! Winning at Chapel Hill will not be an easy task as they haven't won their since 2010 but they like their chances as they have already defeated the Tar Heels 82-75 in Tallahassee as a 4-points favorite in mid January. North Carolina who hasn't had the best of seasons were 8-0 at home until non-conference Marquette handed the Heels their first home loss as a beaten 10-point favorite. Carolina is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall and the Seminoles are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 visits to Chapel Hill. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

L.S.U. at Arkansas 2:00 ET Razorbacks (-) over Tigers- These two SEC rivals are coming into this matchup from totally different places and will have completely different attitudes as Arkansas is off a their best game of the season crushing SEC leader Alabama 81-66 while the Tigers were embarrassed by Georgia 91-78 in what was their worst game of the season. I expect both clubs to move toward the center and the tigers to play better and the razorbacks to have difficulty matching their best game of the year. LSU won the first meeting 92-76 in Baton Rouge and will get the series swept here. Take LOUISIANA STATE! |

South Carolina at Georgia 1:00 ET Gamecocks (-) over Bulldogs- Georgia pulled off a surprising upset on Tuesday defeated LSU 91-78 and it wasn't even that close s they held the Tigers to 27 of 67 FG attempts. South Carolina meanwhile was having their worst shooting game of the season making only 18 of 62 attempts from the floor at Mississippi State while scoring only 48 points. The Gamecocks have lost six straight but are 5-1 ATS when playing a team with a winning % of 60 or better. The Bulldogs are just 1-6 ATS after scoring 90 points or better and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 Saturday games. Note that the underdogs is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the road teams is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take SOUTH CAROLINA! |

UCLA at Utah 8:00 ET Utes (+) over Bruins- Despite their 16-5 SU record UCLA is considered to be on the NCAA bubble and this outing will show you why. The Bruins posted a 72-70 win over Utah at Pauley Pavilion on New Year's Eve and have dropped their last three games overall. UCLA is a poor 1-7 ATS as road favorites and the Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs and most important the home team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Take UTAH! |

02-25-21 | Iowa +5.5 v. Michigan | Top | 57-79 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show |
Iowa at Michigan 7:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Wolverines- A pair of top ranked Big Ten clubs square off in Ann Arbor where the No. 3 ranked Wolverines will host a streaking Iowa squad that has won for straight. Michigan is on a five-game win streak of their own and who is 11-0 SU at home going a more than respectable 8-3 ATS. This is their first meeting of the year between these two and the Hawkeyes bring the nation's leading scorer (24.7) in Luka Garza who also averages 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Iowa plays well after a sub-par performance as they are 16-5 ATS after an ATS loss and the Wolverines continue to play well going 8-2 ATS after a SU win. Wolves are off a win over Ohio State and this one should come down to the final buzzer. Take IOWA! |

02-24-21 | Alabama v. Arkansas +1 | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Alabama at Arkansas 9:00 ET Razorbacks over Crimson Tide- A great matchup between a pair of SEC upstarts as the conference has turned upside down with Kentucky falling so hard. No. 6 Alabama is in the Top10 for the first time in 20 years while the Razorbacks are right behind them in the SEC race winning seven straight conference games. This game opened with the Tide a 1-point favorite and the 'sharps' moved it to Arkansas -1 and for good reason as they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. The 'Hogs' are looking to avenge a total beatdown at Alabama in their first meeting 90-59 and have responded by winning 7-of-8. Take ARKANSAS! |

02-24-21 | Cincinnati +1.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Tulsa 9:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Golden Hurricane- I've said it so many times that people are just tired of hearing that we should always consider fading the Bearcats as they are 3-12 ATS this season and believe it or not 'we' have had them two of the three times that they have covered the spread this season. So, here we are again, looking to cash-in on Cincinnati after their most lopsided loss in 10 years as Houston (Power play winner) crushed them 90-52. Prior to that loss the Cats had actually won four straight while Tulsa is off a win over Temple after having lost three straight and 5-of-6. The 'price' of this matchup tells me the Bearcats will rebound from their loss and the Golden Showers will revert to form. Take CINCINNATI! |

N.C. State at Virginia 6:30 ET Cavaliers (-) over Wolfpack- Virginia has dropped their last two for the first time this season losing to powerhouses Florida State and a surging Duke squad last time out but are 8-1-1 ATAS after a straight up loss. The middle-of-the -road Wolfpack have split their last eight games but have lost their leading scorer Devon Daniels for the season and the Cavaliers defense will shut down the rest of NC State offense that is turnover prone and just 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and only 3-8 ATS against teams with winning records. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Cavaliers will focus on defense and shut down the pack. Take VIRGINIA! |
