02-10-15 | Kentucky -10.5 v. LSU | Top | 71-69 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 5 m | Show |
10* Kentucky -10.5 The Wildcats are off a close win at Florida and should be focused playing at LSU. Willie Cauley Stein, Karl Towns and the Harrison twins lead the way for the undefeated Wildcats. They are well coached by John Calipari and play solid on offense and defense. I think we see the favorites win by 15 and cover. 10* kentucky -10.5 |

10* Winnipeg +140 The Jets are 26-18-9 overall and 12-10-3 at home while the visiting Black Hawks are 31-18-2 overall and 15-11-1 on the road. Chicago is 0-4 in the last 4 meetings and three have been this year, all in Chicago by scores of 4-2, 5-1 and 1-0. One set of power ratings have these as the #8/#9 teams.

02-01-15 | Seattle Seahawks v. New England Patriots OVER 47.5 | 24-28 | Win | 100 | 216 h 47 m | Show | |
10* over 48.5 Both teams can score and it will be at a warm weather venue in Glendale, Arizona. QB Tom Brady is a future Hall Of Famer and Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl last year over Denver. NE should learn from the mistakes Peyton Manning and Denver made last year. Lynch is a solid runner for the Seahawks. 10* over 48.5 points |

10* UNC -11 Syracuse is not deep with some injuries and played on Saturday at home with just 6 players. They lost at Clemson by 13. The Orange beat UNC last year by 12 and the Tar Heels scored just 45. Paige, Johnson, Tokoto, Meeks, Britt and Justin jackson are key Tar Heels. UNC by 14 10* UNC -11 |

01-25-15 | TEAM CARTER v. TEAM IRVIN UNDER 67.5 | Top | 28-32 | Win | 100 | 30 h 1 m | Show |
Sunday: NFL Pro Bowl Past Pro Bowls have been high scoring games when AFC played NFC but last year's game was led by captains Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders. It is 22-21 (43 points) as they played hard to win. The rules favor the offense so there should be plenty of points. 87, 100, 96, 75 and 51 points were scored in previous years before last year. We can see a 35-31 game and still win with the under. Thanks and GL on Sunday! 10* under 67.5 |
|||||||
01-24-15 | Kentucky v. South Carolina +11.5 | Top | 58-43 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
10* USC +11.5 Kentucky has been vulnerable lately. They are a talented team but still young with mostly freshmen and sophomores. Led by the Harrison twins and Karl Towns, the play solid defense as well. South Carolina has played some close games except for a bad 16 point loss. Other games were decided by 4, 3, 2 4 and 4 points. They get points from Notice, Johnson, Thornwell and Chatkevious. They beat Kentucky 72-67 last year but they do lose Williams from that team and he scored 24. Hopefully, the home team can stay close. Earlier Texas A&M and Ole Miss lost in OT and the Wildcats only beat Vandy by 8 at home. 10* South Carolina +11.5 |
|||||||
01-23-15 | Oklahoma City Thunder v. Atlanta Hawks -3.5 | Top | 93-103 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
10* Atlanta -3.5 Oklahoma City is playing their 4th road game in 6 days. They beat Washington in OT on Wednesday night and now play red-hot Atlanta on Friday. The Hawks are 14-0 straight up and ATS in their last 14 games. They are also 19-1 ATS in their last 20 games. They are led by Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver, Pero Antic, Al Horford and Mike Scott. The Thunder is 22-20 overall and 10-13 on the road. They had injuries earlier but Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are playing well now. However, I will go with the hot home team vs. a team that must be road weary. 10* Atlanta -3.5 |
|||||||
01-22-15 | Notre Dame v. Virginia Tech +9 | Top | 85-60 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 43 m | Show |
10* Va Tech +9 Va Tech has played 4 of 5 games on the road. They only lost at home to Syracuse by 2 points. Notre Dame is solid and won on the road at UNC by one and won at Ga tech by 3. Va Tech is led by Bibbs and Smith at 13 points per game. Hill, Wilson and Hudson provide points as well. Wilson has added 77 assists. VT lost by 6, 7, 4, 6, 20, 7 and 3 points last year to ACC teams and did win by 7 over Miami. Coach Buzz Williams does have a young team and is without Joey Van Zegren but they are fairly athletic. Hopefully, they can stay within 7 points at home. 10* Va Tech +9 |
|||||||
01-21-15 | Indiana Pacers v. Atlanta Hawks -11 | Top | 91-110 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
10* Atlanta -11 The Hawks are 34-8 and 31-11 ATS and are an amazing 13-0 straight up and ATS in their last 13 and 18-1 SU/ATS with their only loss against Milwaukee. Led by Teage (17 ppg), Millsap (17), Horford (15), Korver (13 ppg) and Carroll (11.5), Atlanta is now one of the favorites to win the NBA title along with Golden State. Indiana has lost their last 5 games and is without injured Paul George. They are led by CJ Miles, David West and Roy Hibbard. Hopefully, Atlanta continues their win streak. They beat the Pacers by 16 at Indianapolis. 10* Atlanta -11 |
|||||||
01-21-15 | North Carolina -7.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 87-71 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
10* UNC -7.5 The Tar Heels lost at Wake Forest to open last ACC season. They are 3-1 in ACC action and won at Clemson by 22 and beat NC State by 2. UNC just beat Va Tech by 15 at home and should be ready to play well in a game that they can travel by bus. WF has Codi Miller-McIntyre and Devin Thomas is a below average ACC team. UNC is led by Paige, Meeks, Brice Johnson and JP Tokoto. UNC wins by 11. 10* UNC -7.5 |
|||||||
01-20-15 | San Diego State v. Air Force +9.5 | Top | 77-45 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 11 m | Show |
10* Air Force +9.5 Air Force is home and will be without Max Yon (15 ppg) as he missed the last game with a quad injury. Williams is out for the Falcons. with an injury and it does concern me. AFA has won two of the last 3 at home. Lost by 7, won by 2 and won by 3. Olesinaski, Lyons, Kocur and Hammonds are sokid players for the home team. San Diego State is led by Shepard 11 ppg and Quinn at 10.3. Polee is probably out as he collapsed with an undisclosed injury recently. This should be a low scoring game and I hope the Falcons can make some 3's and play well at home. 10* Air Force +9.5 |
|||||||
01-19-15 | Toronto Raptors v. Milwaukee Bucks UNDER 199.5 | Top | 92-89 | Win | 100 | 21 h 27 m | Show |
10* under 199.5 Kendall Marshall is out with an injury. Milwaukee just played in London on Thursday and returned home to face Toronto. The Bucks have played 11 unders in a row and should have tired legs. I hope it effects their offense and not their defense. Let's hope the streak continues to stay under. 10* under 199.5 |
|||||||
01-19-15 | Pittsburgh +15 v. Duke | Top | 65-79 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
10* Pitt +15 Duke is off a nice road win at Louisville on Saturday and now must play an average Pitt team at home. Pitt is off 3 home games. They lost at BC by one in OT and lost by 15 at NCSU. They have a team led by Young 13.7 ppg and 8 rebounds. Robinson, Wright, Artis and Jones score 8.5 or more points per game. Duke is led by Okafor but he shoots just 56% from the line. Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow are freshmen with nice skills. Sulaiman and Jefferson also contribute as well as Plumlee. Coach K is heading toward 1000 wins. I think Duke wins by 10 to 14 points but Pitt covers. 10* Pitt +15 |
|||||||
01-18-15 | Virginia Tech +22.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 53-68 | Win | 100 | 21 h 48 m | Show |
10* Va Tech +22.5 UNC is just 11-27 ATS on Sundays in their last 38 games on the Sabbath and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 ACC games. They won at VT 60-56 last year and won in OT at home twp seasons ago. VT is well coached by Buzz Williams who used to be at Marquette. VT is led by Bibbs at 13.6 ppg and Smith at 13 ppg. Van Zegren averaged 10 ppg but is suspended and that will hurt the inside game and one key reason why UNC is favored by 22+ points. VT lost at Louisville by 15, lost at FSU by 11 and did get blown out at West Va by 31. UNC beat Louisville by one and lost by one to Notre Dame in recent home games but did defeat William and Mary by 22 before ACC play began. UNC should win by 15 to 20 points but I expect the Hokies to cover. 10* Va Tech +22.5 |
|||||||
01-18-15 | Green Bay Packers v. Seattle Seahawks -7 | Top | 22-28 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 18 m | Show |
10* Seattle -7 Seattle -7 is out there but some -7.5's are there too. GB has a quarterback with some health problems and they were just average away from home. Seattle beat GB 36-16 to open the season and only lost one game at home and that was to Dallas, who was 8-1 on the road. Seattle has a great defense, home field advantage, running game and QB Russell Wilson can run as well as pass. I think Seattle wins by 10 to 12 points. 10* Seattle -7 |
|||||||
01-17-15 | Michigan State +3 v. Maryland | Top | 59-75 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
10* Michigan State +3 MSU lost at home to Maryland in 2 overtimes. Trice, Dawson, Forbes, Valentine and Schilling are solid players for Tom Izzo's team. Maryland has played well so far and been ranked and led by Dez Wells, Melo Trimble and Jake Layman but I think MSU plays better defense. 10* Michigan State +3 |
|||||||
01-16-15 | Winnipeg Jets +197 v. Chicago Blackhawks | Top | 4-2 | Win | 197 | 23 h 56 m | Show |
5* Winnipeg +197 Nice value on the underdog that is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. Winnipeg has won the last 3 meetings and won 5-1 back in December and 1-0 in November. The Jets are 12-5-5 on the road and just 10-9-3 at home. Chicago is a solid team that is 15-5-1 at home but nice value on the road team at +180 or better at most books. GL! 5* Winnipeg |
|||||||
01-16-15 | Iona v. Niagara OVER 155 | Top | 80-79 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
over 155 I was looking at playing the under at first but Iona is a good offensive team that has played overs in 14 of their last 19 Friday games and these two played over 200 last year at Iona and 90-89 at Niagara last year. Iona gets 20.8 from English, Lanz gets 20, Williams 14.5 and Casimir 14 ppg. They are one of a few teams that get 20 points per game from two players. Go with the over on Friday ay night. 10* over 155 |
|||||||
01-14-15 | Harvard -3.5 v. Boston College | Top | 57-64 | Loss | -114 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
10* Harvard -3.5 Seen this at -3.5 and -4. Harvard has won the last few meetings by 15, 16, 21 and 9 points. Wesley Saunders, Chambers and Mondau-Missi are solid players for the Crimson and they have played well the last three seasons vs. BC. Miller also helps out by scoring 9.5 ppg. Miller and Chambers have over 50 assists. Harvard has played at Virginia and Arizona State and lost badly but they have exprience vs. teams like Boston College. Harvard is 10-3 while BC is 7-7. The Eagles are led by Olivier Hanlan, Dennis Clifford and Patrick Heckmann. BC did play an 61-60 OT game with Pittsburgh of the ACC. BC only averages about 3000 fans. I like Harvard to win and cover. 10* BC -3.5 |
|||||||
01-13-15 | Virginia Tech +23 v. Louisville | Top | 63-78 | Win | 100 | 20 h 24 m | Show |
Va Tech +23 Take the road team as Louisville is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8. They just lost a tough game at UNC by one point but did cover. VT just lost at FSU by 9 and did lose at West Va by 31 and lost at Penn State by 3. Led by Bibb 13.5 ppg, Smith 12.7 ppg and Van Zagren 10 ppg the Hokies are well coached by Buzz Williams. The Cards are led by Jones, Harrell and Rozier. I see Rick Pitinio's team winning by 18 to 20 points. Take Va Tech +23. 10* Va Tech +23 |
|||||||
01-12-15 | Ohio State +7 v. Oregon | Top | 42-20 | Win | 100 | 103 h 9 m | Show |
10* Ohio State +7 Both teams have had 11 days to prepare for the title game. Oregon was very impressive in their win over FSU but they got some second half turnovers to help. FSU missed a FG (not a wide right but an UP-right.) Mariota threw one interception and another one was dropped near the 10 yards line on a second down and one that ended up being a field goal for the Ducks. Ohio State is well coached by Urban Meyer, who won two titles with Florida with Tim Tebow. OSU is now using their third string QB Cardale Jones as Barrett and Braxton Miller are out. RB Ezekiel Elliott has done plenty of damage in the last few weeks for the Buckeyes. I think we see a close game so take the underdog in this big game getting close to a touchdown. 10* Ohio State +7 |
|||||||
01-11-15 | Indianapolis Colts v. Denver Broncos -7 | Top | 24-13 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 10 m | Show |
10* Denver -7 I like Denver -7 as they have been off for two weeks to rest injuries and allow Peyton Manning some extra time to prepare. Manning was with the Colts and should bbe motivated facing his old team with the QB that replaced him. Andrew Luck has been solid for Indy, especially atat home but this game will be in the Mile High City where the Broncos were 8-0. Denver has a better defense as well. I think the Broncos win by 10 to 13 points so lay the -7. 10* Denver -7 |
|||||||
01-11-15 | Duke v. NC State +9 | Top | 75-87 | Win | 100 | 21 h 53 m | Show |
10* NC State +9 Duke just won at Wake Forest by 9 points but were -15 point underdogs. Duke is still a young team and led by Okafor, Jefferson, Justise, Sualaimon and Tyus Jones. NCSU just lost at Virginia by 10 but led by 1 in the last 10 minutes. NCSU won by 18 vs. Pitt before that. They did lose at home to Cincy by double figures and also lost to Wofford by one but won at home over Wake Forest by 13, beat Richmond by 12, and beat Tennessee by 11. Scorers for NCSU: Lacey, Turner and Barber are all in double figures and Anya, Abu, Washington and Freeman play as well. Duke beat NCSU by 8 in the ACC tournament last March. I think we see NC State stay within 8 and cover. 10* NC State +9 |
|||||||
01-10-15 | Virginia -2 v. Notre Dame | Top | 62-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
Virginia -2 This should be a good game set for Saturday night. UVA won in OT last Saturday at Miami after getting a nice lead. I think Mike Tobey, Gill and Justin Anderson are a better defensive team and think they win by 5 points. Notre Dame just won at UNC by one and led by Grant and Connaghton they have just one loss, by one to Providence. I think we see UVA win 66-62. 10* UVA -2 |
|||||||
01-10-15 | Louisville v. North Carolina -3 | Top | 71-72 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 12 m | Show |
Louisville at UNC |

01-08-15 | Pepperdine +16 v. BYU | Top | 67-61 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
10* Pepperdine +16 Pepperdine is 9-5 overall but 19-7 ATS in its last 26 road games and 9-2-1 ATS in its last 12 overall. They lost at Arizona State by 7, lost at St Mary's by 9, lost at Iowa by 11 and lost by 2 to Richmond in New York. BYU won 84-72 last year at home. The Waves get 15 ppg from Stacy Davis, 11 from Raines, 10 from Olden, 9.6 from Major and 8.5 ppg from Russell. Udenyi sscores 6 per game and has 65 assists. BYU is 13-4 but their last few home games have been close. The beat Portland by 9, lost to Gonzaga by 7, won in OT vs. UMass and beat Stanford by 2. The Cougars get 21.5 ppg from Tyler Haws, 14.5 from Winder, Fischer gets 14 ppg and their fourth scorer is at 13. Then, it drops to 5 ppg. I think Pepperdine is familiar with BYU and playing in Provo and can stay within 15 points. 10* Pepperdine +16 |
|||||||
01-07-15 | Duke v. Wake Forest +15.5 | Top | 73-65 | Win | 100 | 23 h 3 m | Show |
10* Wake Forest +15.5 This line was +16 and caught my eye at that number but +15.5 is a solid number. Wake Forest is off a 85-76 point home loss (but a cover at +12.5) to Louisville in front of 10.800 fans. Wake did lose at home to Minnesota by 15 and lost by 13 to Florida (in Sunrise, Fla.) Wake Forest beat Duke last year at home by 82-72 as Quin Cook and Sulaimon were on the court for Duke while Thomas, Codi Millier-McIntyre and Madison Jones played in the Duke games the last two seasons. Duke won 75-70 two years ago. Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood were on last year's Duke team while this year's version has Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow. Duke did win at Wisconsin by 10 points but this will be their first ACC road game for most of the squad. Cody Miller-McIntyre averages 13, Thomas 12 (10 rebounds and shoots 49% FG) and Wilbekin 8.5. Mitoglu, Hudson, Leonard and Jones also contribute. Hopefully, the Demon Deacons can stay within 12 to 14 points. 10* Wake Forest +15.5 |
|||||||
01-06-15 | New Mexico v. San Diego State -8 | Top | 42-56 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
San Diego State -8 The Aztecs are off a close loss to Fresno State and look to bounce back on Tuesday night. They are 11-4 and 9-0 at home even though some home wins have been close. New Mexico is off a 13 point win over Larry Eustachy's formerly undefeated Colorado State team. Howeer, the Lobos lost to Grand Canyon by 3 points away from home. SD State is led by Polee, O'Brien and Kell. I think we see the home team win by 10 to 12 points and cover. 10* San Diego State -8 |
|||||||
01-05-15 | Wofford v. Chattanooga | Top | 68-64 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 44 m | Show |
10* Chattanooga pick'em Take the home team as they won both meetings last year. They won at home by one and on the road by 14. UTC is 8-1 at home with their only loss against SEC member Georgia. They lost at Wisconsin and at Butler so they have played some decent teams. They are led by : Jones 13 ppg Pryor 12 ppg White 10.5 ppg and 48 assists Tuoyo 9 ppg and 7.7 rebounds Wofford let me down at Duke last week as they were outscored 12-3 in the last few minutes and blew a cover at +22.5. They are led by Kurt Cochran, who scores 13 ppg but only shoots 35% from the field and Collins at 11 ppg and the next highest is at 9 points. Hopefully, we see the home team win what looks to be a close game. 10* Chattonooga (even) |
|||||||
01-05-15 | Notre Dame +8.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 71-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
10* Notre Dame +8.5 Notre Dame is off a home 2 OT win vs. Ga Tech as the Yellow jackets jumped ahead 11-2 and led most of the game. ND did have two players on the court for 50 minutes and could be tired. The Irish did play at UNC last year and lost 63-61 as the Tar Heels started some backups who who seniors (on Senior Day). UNC is off a 74-50 easy win at Clemson. UNC did lose at home 60-55 to Iowa. Notre Dame is led by senior PG Jerian Grant, who sat out last year. He averages 18 ppg and 6 assists. August is 6'10" and gets 14.5 ppg and shoots 67%. Jackson and Pat Connaughton also are near the 14 ppg range and shoot over 50% from the field but did play a weak schedule so far. The Irish's only loss is to Providence by one points and it was played in Connecticut. Former Duke assistant coach Mike Brey leads the Irish. UNC is well coached under Roy Williams. They are led by Kennedy Meeks, Marcus Paige, JP Tokoto and Brice Johnson. Isiah Hicks, Justin Jackson, Nate Britt and Theo Pinson also contribute. The Tar Heels have some solid inside players but are just average shooting free throws and weak from the 3-point line. It could be a somber mood at the Dean Dome with the Sunday passing of former ESPN anchor Stuart Scott, who is a graduate of UNC. I think Notre Dame keeps this game in the 70's and wee see a 77-71 type of game. Take the underdog getting 8.5 points. 10* Notre Dame +8.5 |
|||||||
01-04-15 | Louisville v. Wake Forest +12.5 | Top | 85-76 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
10* Wake Forest +12.5 Louisville plays their first road game in the ACC on Sunday at Wake Forest. The Cards beat Western Kentucky 76-67 a few weeks ago in their only road game. Last year they lost by 6 at Memphis, beat Cincy by 1 and defeated Rutgers by 7. They are a top ten team and led by Rozier, Harrell, Blackshear and Jones but then drop to just 4 ppg. Wake Forest is now coached by Danny Manning and is 8-4 with a 6-3 home record. They just won at Richmond and should have confidence after beating Princeton by 15 at home. They are led by Codi McIntrye Miller 12.5 ppg, Devon Thomas 11 ppg, Mitoglu at 8.5 ppg. He has scored 26 with 13 rebounds in his last two games. Hudson and Leonard also contribute as well as Wilbekin and Madison Jones. I expect Louisville to win by 8 to 11 points. Take WF getting +12.5. 10* Wake Forest +12.5 |

01-04-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning v. Ottawa Senators +127 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 6 m | Show |
NHL (Sunday 7pm EST) Tampa Bay at Ottawa 5* Ottawa +127 Ottawa is 8-4-4 at home while TB is just 9-8-3 on the road. The Lightning are an impressive 15-4-1 at home but this game is up in Canada. Ottawa won 3-2 at Boston in extra time on Saturday afternoon. The home team is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and TB is just 6-24 in their last 30 at Ottawa. Nice value on the Ottawa Senators at +127 on Sunday. GL! 5* Ottawa +127 |

01-03-15 | Baltimore Ravens v. Pittsburgh Steelers -3 | Top | 30-17 | Loss | -113 | 30 h 51 m | Show |
10* Pittsburgh -3 Pittsburgh may be without Bell at RB but their home field advantage should help them. QB Big Ben has been solid as he had six TD passes in two separate games and one was vs. this Ravens team. Antonio Brown has been a nice receiver for the Steelers. Baltimore won the Super Bowl two years ago but QB Joe Flacco has been inconsistent ever since. The Ravens won at Denver and then beat San Fran in that final game two seasons ago but this is a different year. I like Pittsburgh to win by 4 to 7 points and cover. 10* Pittsburgh -3 |
|||||||
01-03-15 | North Carolina v. Clemson +7.5 | Top | 74-50 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
10* Clemson +7.5 This opened at +8 and I liked that better. The Tigers are 8-4 but have lost by 2 at Gardner Webb, and at home by 5 to Rutgers and by 3 to Wingate. The students are away for the break. Clemson does have some upperclassmen after losing KJ McDaniels last year. Blossomgame 13.7 leads with 13.7 ppg, Harrison 11, Grantham 10, Nnoko 9.9 and Rod Hall 9.5 are close to double digits while Roper, Ajukwa, Smith and Djitte provide minutes as well. Clemson beat Duke by 12 at home last year and only lost by 5 to Virginia. They lost to UNC by 9 at home in their last visiit to Littlejohn Coliseum but have won the two games before that and the 2010 game was a blowout by 83-64. UNC is led by Marcus Paige, Kennedy Meeks, JP Tokoto and Brice Johnson. Meeks has stomach flu and won't be 100% if he plays. UNC lost their road opener at Wake Forest last year. They have Paige from the outside and Justin Jackson can make some 3's as well but Clemson should play zone and force UNC to hit outside shots. Clemson has played some close games in the 60's and beat Arkansas in OT at home. In previous years at home they rarely get blown out. I think we see a 68-63 type of game. 10* Clemson +7.5 |

01-03-15 | Boston College +24 v. Duke | Top | 62-85 | Win | 100 | 24 h 14 m | Show |
10* Boston College +24 This line seems too high. BC has a roster full of seniors and a junior (Olivier Hanlan 15 ppg). Transfer Brown is at 16 ppg and senior center Dennis Clifford is at 9 points and 6 reb's per contest. ODU transfer Dmitri Batten is at 8 ppg aslong with senior Patrick Heckmann. Lonnie Jackson also returns for the Eagles. Duke is at home and led by FR Jahlil Okafor, Winslow, Tyus Jones and Quin Cook. The Blue Devils are undefeated. BC has played West Va on a neutral floor and only lost by 4 points. Most of the BC roster has played at Duke and should be prepared. I think we see Duke win by 20 points so take the points. 10* Boston College +24 |

01-03-15 | East Carolina +7.5 v. Florida | Top | 20-28 | Loss | -120 | 601 h 35 m | Show |
10* East Carolina +7.5 This opened with ECU +8. The Pirates lost at home in the final game of the regular season to Central Florida on a Hail Mary after making a nice comeback by scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter. Now ECU gets to play another team from central Florida (Gainesville). These two meet in Birmingham, Alabama and the Gators are porbably happy to go to the state of Alabama and not have to face the Crimson Tide or the Auburn Tigers of the SEC. ECU won their bowl game last year as they beat and covered against Ohio by 37-20. They lost the previous year to ULL in Louisiana 43-34 and now they return to the deep south to face an SEC team. The Pirates are led by senior QB Shane Carden and WR Justin Hardy. WR Cam Worthy is solid and so is RB Breon Allen. Coach Ruffin McNeil led ECU to an 8-4 record with wins over Va Tech and UNC but did lose 33-23 at SouthCarolina after leading most of the game. Florida did beat Georgia and ended the season with a loss to rival Florida State. Head coach Will Muschamp stepped down after the Seminole game and now they will use a different coach. How motivated will Florida be to face an 8-4 East Carolina team? I am not sure if ECU can win but do like the points if you can get at least +7. 10* East Carolina +7.5 |

01-01-15 | Florida State +9 v. Oregon | Top | 20-59 | Loss | -115 | 64 h 28 m | Show |
Florida State vs. Oregon 10* Florida State +9 FSU won the national title last year at this same venue. They have the same coach and the same QB (Jameis Winston), who won the Heisman Trophy last season as the best player in college football. FSU plays Oregon on Thursday and they are led by QB Marcus Mariota, who won this year's Heisman Trophy. FSU has won 29 games in a row and been favored in close to 50 games in a row, until this game on Thursday and they are an underdog by 9 points. The Oregon coach doesn't have much experience in playing national title games or games of this magnitude. FSU fell behind Auburn last year 21-3 but came back to win. They did fall behind in many games this year but came back to win all of them. The Ducks will be without their All-American CB due to an injury. FSU has the best kicker in the nation as he has missed just 3 FG's in his career. Oregon may end up winning but I like Florida State getting 9 points. 10* Florida State +9 |

12-31-14 | Georgetown +5.5 v. Xavier | Top | 53-70 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
10* Georgetown +5.5 These two split blowouts last year. Georgetown is playing their first true road game but they have played Butler (lost by 6), Wisconisn (lost by 3) and Florida (won by 1) on a neutral floor. The Hoyas are led by Smith Rivera at 14.7 ppg, Smith 13 ppg and Peak at 10. Bowen and Smith both make close to 65% from the filed. Xavier is solid as they are 7-0 at home but have played average teams like Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast. Led by Bluiett and Stainbrook, thhe home team is solid but I like the visitors to keep it close. 10* GTown +5.5 |

12-31-14 | Wofford +22.5 v. Duke | Top | 55-84 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 42 m | Show |
10* Wofford +22.5 Wofford is off a 33 point loss at West Virginia. The played at NC State earlier this year and won 55-54. They lost at William & Mary by 4 and at Stanford by 15. Last year they played at VCU and lost by 15. They lost to Michigan last year by 17 to end the season. Wofford is led by 6'1" senior Cochran with 13.3 ppg, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. He shoots just 35% FG. Collins is a 6'4" junior who shoots 50% and is at 11.4 ppg. Garcia, Allen, Gordon and Skinner are all in the 8 ppg range. They are a short team (most in the 6'1" to 6'6" range) and that concerns me. However, this game will be played at 3pm on New Year's Eve just before Coach K lays out the Kool Aid and Cookies for all the sociology majors. Duke is off a 17 point win over Toledo on Monday and then starts the ACC season. Okafor, Jones, Quinn Cook, Jefferson, Winslow and Sulaiman should be able to score and others may see some minutes to make sure they don't transfer before 2015 gets here. Wofford is located in South Carolina and should be excited to face another ACC team after a victory over the Wolfpack in their last visit to the Triangle area. The Terriers play plenty of low scoring games and getting +22.5 should be helpful. Hopefully, we see a 68-51 type of game. 10* Wofford +22.5 |

12-30-14 | Davidson v. Virginia UNDER 133 | Top | 72-83 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
under 133 Davidson and UVA played last year and we saw a game with 127 points and that was at Davidson and now they play at UVA. Davidson lost by 18 vs. UNC and now plays another ACC team that likes to play defense and it is at an odd time. I think we see a game with 125 to 130 points and an under. 10* under 133 |

12-29-14 | Texas v. Arkansas UNDER 45 | 7-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
10* under 45 This line was 46 earlier in the week and I liked that better for obvious reasons. However, most places now have it at 44 or 45, which is low for a college game. Both teams like to run the ball and play solid defense. Arkansas played a 14-13 game with high powered Alabama, the team that is favored to win it all in the playoff. I think we see a 24-16 type of game that stays under by a few points. Take the under as our Top Toal for Monday in college football action. 10* under 45 |

12-29-14 | Toledo +20 v. Duke | Top | 69-86 | Win | 100 | 19 h 24 m | Show |
Toledo at Duke (7pm) 10* Toledo +20 This is Duke's first game in 11 days. Their last two home games were a 13 point win over Elon and a 20 point win over Coach K's alma Mater (Army). Toledo is a solid team that only lost by 9 at VCU and by 10 at Oregon. They only lost by 10 at Kansas last year and they only lost one player (Rian Pierson) from last season. Their top three scorers are seniors and their top big man (Boothe) is a junior. Brown 16 ppg (51% FG, 5 assists, 52% 3's) Drummond 12.5 Weatherspoon 12.5 Williams 11 Boothe 9.7 (52% FG) Lauf, Garber and Hall contribute as well. Duke is 10-0 but only five players scored vs. UConn. They go from playing the defending national champions to facing Toledo and then have to play Wofford on Wednesday and then start the ACC season. They are led by freshman Jahlil Okafor 17 ppg (65% FG), Quin Cook 14 ppg, Winslow 12, Jones 11 ppg and Jefferson 9.5 ppg. Sulaimon, Plumlee and Matt Jones are decent players as well. The Blue Devils are a young team. The Toledo Rockets are experienced and will need Boothe and Garber to guard Okafor inside. Boothe is probably end up with 5 fouls. Hopefully, the visiors can make some 3's and not be too intimidated by the Cameron Crazies and stay within 15 to 19 points. 10* Toledo +20 |

12-28-14 | NC-Greensboro +9 v. East Carolina | Top | 50-71 | Loss | -106 | 17 h 37 m | Show |
UNCG at ECU 2pm EST 10* UNC Greensboro +9 Both teams are coached by former UNC guards. UNCG is coached by Wes Miller and ECU is led by Jeff Lebo. They have played each other recently. Last year's game was 85-84 as Saddler of UNCG had 34 points. Back in 2012, ECU won at home by 76-73. Sadler leads the visitors with 15.5 ppg. He also has 46 assists. Locke adds 13 ppg, White 12 points/7.8 rebounds, Paulos 11.7 ppg. Byrd and Baldwin (13 vs. UNC) also contribute. UNCG won their last road game at ETSU by 1, won by 2 at Presbyterian, lost by 8 at Indiana, lost by 9 at Youngstown State and lost by 8 at Eastern Michigan. ECU is led by Tyson at 14.5 ppg, White 13.5, Whisnant 12.8 and Paris Campbell-Roberts 9.5 ppg. ECU has played some easy teams at home and beaten JMU, Florida A&M and C. Conn State easily but did lose to UNC Asheville at home. The Pirates did lose Akeem Richmond and Stith from last year's team. I think ECU wins but like UNCG to stay within 9. 10* UNC Greensboro +9 |

12-27-14 | Kennesaw State +27 v. Illinois | Top | 45-93 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 56 m | Show |
10* Kennesaw State +27 Kennesaw State lost by 34 to Cal and by 42 at Butler but is off a close 2 point loss at Elon and did defeat Youngstown State recently by 6. They are led by Wilson, Love, Coleman, Pruitt and Brown. Illinois is 9-3 and off an 18 point victory over Hampton and defeated Missouri by 3 on a neutral floor. The Fighting Illini face Michigan and Ohio State in Big Ten action this week so they may be looking ahead and maybe Kennesaw State stays within 23 and covers the number. 10* Kennesaw State +27 |

12-27-14 | Kentucky v. Louisville +6 | Top | 58-50 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
10* Louisville +6 This is Kentucky's first true road game. The Wildcats have two solid lineups revolving the Harrison twins are well as Willie Cauley Stein and Karl Towns. They are well coached by John Calipari but they can struggle from the outside. Louisville is well coached by Pick Pitino and won the title just two years ago. They have some solid scorers: Rozier 16.7 ppg Harrell 14.7 and 10 rebounds Blackshear 12.7 Jones 12 Onuaku can score inside and block shots as well. I think we see Ky win but the home team will have the crowd at KFC Yum! Center behind them. I like Louisville at +6 or so. 10* Louisville +6 |

12-26-14 | North Carolina State v. Central Florida -2 | Top | 34-27 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 14 m | Show |
10* CF -2 Central Florida is close to home as this will be played in St. Petersburg so their fans will easily be able to attend. CFU has a great defense as they allowed about 18 ppg. They were a great team last year with Blake Bortles at QB and defeated Baylor in last year's bowl. NC State has a solid QB in Jacoby Brissett and he used to play at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He should be motivated as he is a nice runner and decent passer. I think the difference will be the defense of Central Florida and all we need is for them to win by a TD. 10* Central Florida -2 |

12-23-14 | Navy v. San Diego State UNDER 54 | Top | 17-16 | Win | 100 | 56 h 17 m | Show |
under 54 San Diego State has played 1 over this weason and the just were unders. They played Air Force (another service academy that likes to run) and beat them easily. The defeated Navy a few years ago 35-14 (49 points) and like to trun the ball themselves. The SDSU QB struggled to throw the ball as he had about 11 TD's and int's so the Aztecs stick with running the ball, which keeps the close going. Navy had 4 overs and 7 unders and is led by QB Keenan Reynolds and he is key for this game staying under. If he can run and make some nice passes then the Navy has a chance to win and put up points. SDSU coach Rocky Long has a solid 3-3-5 defense that should be prepared for the Navy run game. I think we see under on Tuesday night. 10* under 54 |

12-23-14 | CS-Northridge +27 v. Louisville | Top | 55-80 | Win | 100 | 29 h 36 m | Show |
CSN at Louisville 7pm Tuesday 10* Cal State-N +27 The KFC Yum! Center should be rocking on Tuesday night when Cal State Northridge comes to town. Just kidding! CSN is just 3-9 but did play at Oregon (lost by 23), played at SD State (lost by 21) and lost at Arizona by 18. They have played some good ranked teams and stayed within 27 points. They are led by two seniors in the 6'6" range. Hicks scores 17.5 ppg, 5.7 rebounds on 56% FG while Maxwell is at 14.5 ppg and 7.6 rb's. Parks, Elliott, H-E and Drew are all in the 6 to 7.5 ppg area. Louisville is off a tough road win at Western Kentucky by 9 points. Montrezl Harrell was ejected and will sit out this game. It could lead to a faster paced game without him in the middle but the Cardinals' next game is with rival Kentucky, who is ranked #1 in the nation. This game is close to Christmas and most players will focus on that and their next game rather than CSN. Jones, Rozier, Blackshear and the rest of the Louisville team could easily win this by 30+ but I think we have a solid chacne with CSN getting +27. GL! 10* Cal State Northridge +27 |

10* W&M +8.5 These two teams are located about 40 miles apart and both used to play in the Colonial Athletic Conference. ODU just won at home on Friday vs. UMES but played OT to defeat Ga State 58-54. ODU was down 50-44 but made a nice comeback to win and cover the -3.5. ODU has now covered 12 in a row at home but plays a W&M team that won at ODU last season. The Tribe are well coached by Tony Shaver and led by Marcus Thornton at 19 ppg, Prewitt 10, Dixon 10 and Sheldon/Tarpey at 8 ppg. W&M only lost by 1 at Richnond and is 19-7 ATS in its last 26. ODU is well coached by former UVA player Jeff Jones and led by Trey Freeman and Richard Ross. Ambrose Mosely is a solid contributor as well. I think we see W&M stay within 8 on Monday night. The line is +8.5 as I write this on Sunday but expect it to go lower rather than higher. 10* W&M +8.5 |

App State at Alabama 10* App State +19.5 The Mountaineers have been on the road recently and lost at Ga Tech by 13, lost at Charlotte by 10 and earlier did win at Va Tech by 2. They lost at home to Hofstra by 17 and did lose an earlier game to Ohio by 26. They are led by Jr. Frank Eaves at 16.5 ppg, Burgess 10.5 ppg, Sr. Tommy Spagnola 10 points/7 rebounds and Sr. Clarke 7.5 points. Alabama is well coached by Anthony Grant, who used to be at VCU. The Crimson Tide just won at home vs. Stillman by 20 and earlier wins were by 12 vs. Tennessee Tech, by 11 vs. USF, by 14 vs. Southern Miss and by 6 to Western Carolina. Alabama is led by Randolph at 16.8 ppg, Tarrant 12.7 and Cooper at 12 ppg. The home gets plays UCLA next and may overlook this game since it starts early and it is close to Christmas and looking ahead to the Bruins. Hopefully, we see Alabama win by by 15 to 19 points. 10* Appalachian State +19.5 |

NHL Colorado at Buffalo Saturday 7pm EST Buffalo +106 The Buffalo Sabres have won their last 6 home games and have been off since Tuesday's 5-1 loss at Winnipeg, in which they used their backup goalie. Colorado is off a 1-0 shootout loss at Pittsburgh and is just 1-6 in their last 7 games but is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings with the Sabres. Nice underdog value with the hot home team that was off Wed/Thursday/Friday. 5* on Buffalo +106 |

10* Florida -12.5 Florida is 0-2 vs. the ACC with a loss to Miami at home and loss in the Bahamas to UNC. They had a nice win vs. Yale by 38 points and earlier beat William and Mary by 23. Florida is 6-4 and needs a win. They play FSU in 10 days so they should focus on Wake Forest, who is 5-5. The Demon Deacons lost at NC State by 13 and at Arkansas by 30 and at home by 15 to Minnesota. This game is played at Sunrise, Florida and that does concern me but WF has struggled on the road. Carter has strep throat and is questionable. Their scorers are Frazier 15 ppg, Finney-Smith (12 ppg) who used to play in the ACC at Virginia Tech, Jon Horford at 10 ppg. Walker, Hill and Robinson plays minutes as well. WF struggles at the line and only made 16/30 at NCSU. Leading scorers Codi Miller-McIntrye 12 ppg and Devin Thomas 11.5 only shoot in the 58% range from the line. They are Wake's only double digit scorers. This is Florida's chance to beat an ACC team that travels to Florida to play a 6-4 Gator team that needs a win. 10* Florida -12.5 |

12-19-14 | St. Mary's v. St. John's UNDER 135 | Top | 47-53 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
under 135 This total did drop a few points and Kenpom has it making it to 138. However, Saint Mary's has played under in 13 of its last 16 and under in 24 of its last 33 road games. Saint John's has played 0 overs, 5 unders and one push this year. Steve Lavin's Red Storm has played unders in 8 of its last 10 Friday games. Hopefully, both teams play solid defense and we don't see overtime and the under wins the cash. 10* under 135 |

12-18-14 | Duke -10.5 v. Connecticut | Top | 66-56 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
10* Duke -10.5 The Blue devils didn't play well in their last home game and the visitors covered the huge +32 spread and now Duke gets to play the defending champs in East Rutherfor, NJ. Coach K has lost two important games to UConn when Jim Calhoun was there. They lost a title game 77-74 as -10 point favorites and lost a semifinal game after leading most of the game and led by JJ Redick. Duke has some offensive punch with Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones, Quin Cook, Matt Jones and Rashad Sulaimon scoring most of the points. They are led by point guard who is a senior (Cook) and they rebound well. UConn lost Shabaz Napier but still have Ryan Boatright and coached by Kevin Ollie. I think Duke wins by 12 to 15 points. 10* Duke -10.5 |

12-17-14 | Georgia State v. Old Dominion -3 | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show | |
Georgia State at ODU 10* ODU -3 ODU is 7-1 and their one loss was on a neutral court to Illinois State. They beat rival VCU at home by 6 and alos beat Richmond at home by 6. They beat LSU on a neutral court and also won at George Mason. Georgia State is 6-2 with a bad loss at Iowa State by 33 points. They also lost at Colorado State by 10. They were able to win at IUPUI by 3 and won at Oakland by 5. In their four road games, they have been outrebounded 31-24, 31-24, 37-24 and 36-27. Ga State beat ODU 79-73 at home last year but they were rebounded 29-19. The key to the game was shooting 32 free throws while the Monarchs shot just 13. Ryan Harrow led the home team with 33 points. ODU did shoot 51% from the field. Ga State lost Atkins and White from that team while ODU lost Dmitri Batten, who has been replaced nicely by Trey Freeman. Harrow and Hunter lead Ga State in soring at over 20 ppg. Former Louisville player Kevin Ware is also on the team. In the IUPUI game we saw Hunter and Harrow with 27 and 21 but the next highest was at 6 points. ODU is led in scoring by Freeman at 16.5 ppg, has 26 assists and he makes 90% of his FT's. Ross is at 10.6 ppg and shoots 58% from the field. Bacote and Mosley are at 9 ppg, Arledge, Baker, Palmore and Taylor contribute as well. The Monarchs are well coached by former UVA player Jeff Jones. Ga State has been off since December 4 while ODU just played a tuneup vs. NC A&T a few days ago. This should be a great game as ODU looks to win in front of their fans. There should be close to 8500 at the Constant Convocation Center for this game on Wednesday night. I think ODU has a nice chance to win and cover the 3 points. GL! 10* ODU -3 |

10* UNC Greensboro This opened at +17.5 and has now gone up a few points. UNC did defeat UNCG 80-51 at home last year. UNC Greensboro is coached by former Tar Heel guard Wes Miller and it is in Greensboro. They only lost by 9 at Indiana earlier this season. They are led in scoring by: Saddler 16.5 ppg White 12.8 (6'8" senior also grabs 7.7 rebounds) (shoots 56% FG) Paulos 12.3 (6'7" guard who was 9-9 from 3's vs. Davidson last year) Locke 12.2 UNC is off a 84-70 loss at Kentucky and plays Ohio State later this week and should be looking ahead. UNC will try to score inside with Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson and get points outside from Marcus Paige. JP Tokoto should score as well. I think we see UNCG stay within 15 to 19 points and cover. 10* UNC Greensboro +20 |

10* App State +19 This is a play at +19 or near it. GT is 6-2 and just lost at home to SC Upstate by 5 and should bounce back with a win but App State won earlier at Virginia Tech and should be motivated to fac ean ACC team. Frank Eaves averages 17 ppg and the visitors have some other decent players like Spagnolam Burgess, Clarke and Kinney. They are smallish but should hang within 15 to 17 points on Monday. 10* Appalachian State +19 |

12-14-14 | Dallas Cowboys +3.5 v. Philadelphia Eagles | Top | 38-27 | Win | 100 | 47 h 10 m | Show |
10-star Dallas +3.5 The Cowboys are the only undefeated road team and should be embarrassed for their bad loss at home on Thanksgiving. Dallas seems to play better on the road as Tony Romo is more relaxed, the O-line is solid and the running game is one of the best in the NFL. Dallas should be prepared after the Eagles ran all over them with second dtringer Mark Sanchez. Teams have struggled after playing the Seattle Seahawhs as they are the most physical team in the NFL and it takes a lot out of them. I think the Cowboys have a solid chance to win but take the +3.5. 10* Dallas +3.5 |

12-13-14 | Middle Tennessee v. Akron -7.5 | Top | 62-61 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 46 m | Show |
10* Akron -7.5 This was -5.5 on Friday night but hopefully we see the home team win by 10 or more. Akron only lost 2 games at home last year and they should have revenge on their mind after losing by 7 at MTSU last year. Hammonds, Shawn Jones and Knight are gone from last year's team. This year's squad averages just 59ppg and leading scorer Upshaw is at 9.5 ppg while Akron has five players in the 10 to 11.5 points per game range. The Zips are 4-0 at home. Take Akron -7.5 as I think we see a 71-60 type of game. 10* Akron -7.5 |

10* under 59.5 #303/304 (Army/Navy) 3pm Saturday These two are used to each others plays. The last 8 meetings have stayed under the total reaching 41, 30, 48, 48, 20, 34, 41 and 40 points combined. When Army played Air Force it was 23-6 (29 points) while the Air Force Navy meeting ended with 51 points. Navy QB Keenan Reynolds is a great runner and his play should decide if this go over or not. Army's last two have reached 73 and 76 while Navy's have made it to 82, 71, 88, 72 and 65 and that does concern me but I think the teams know each other's running attack and suggest the under at 59.5. 10* under 59.5 |

12-10-14 | Columbia v. Kentucky OVER 115 | Top | 46-56 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 59 m | Show |
over 115 This is a very low total. I don't expect Columbia to score too many points but think the home team can put up 75+. Maybe we get a 74-44 game and reach 118. That isn't asking too much for the #1 ranked team in the nation to go over 115 points led by the Harrison twins, Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl Townes and Alex Poythesis. John Calipari does stress defense and Columbia did have 17 unders in a row a few years ago but I think we have a solid chance for an over which is set at 115. 10* over 115 |

10* Villanova -4 -Villanova and Illinois play at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. "Nova plays regularly at MSG and lost to Seton Hall by one in their conference tournament last year. They play St. John's as well. The Wildcats are off to a 7-0 start and beat VCU 77-53 on a neutral court as well as Michigan 60-55. They are led by Ennis at 12 ppg, Hilliard 10.5 and several players in the 7 to 9 range. Illinois is led by Rayvonte Rice at 17.5 ppg, Hill 14 and Cosby 10. They have just one loss and it was by 9 to Miami. I think Nova plays better defense and gets more steals and should win by more than 4 points. 10* Villanova -4 |

12-07-14 | Seattle Seahawks v. Philadelphia Eagles | Top | 24-14 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 43 m | Show |
10* Philadelphia This should be a good game. The Seahawks have to travel cross country but still have San Francisco and Arizona left to play again. The Eagles have been off since Thanksgiving after a convincing win over Dallas. QB Mark Sanchez has been good and RB Leshawn McCoy has been good. Sanchez has been hitting his targets and the Eagle defense has done its job. Coach Chip Kelly has the team running the ball and throwing it even without starter Nick Foles running the show. Seattle is the reigning Super Bowl winner and off back to back 19-3 wins with Russell Wilson playing well, Marshawn Lynch doing his thing and the defense almost back to Super Bowl level but I like the home team to win by a field goal or more. 10* Philadelphia -1 |

12-07-14 | East Carolina v. North Carolina OVER 142 | Top | 64-108 | Win | 100 | 5 h 14 m | Show |
10* ECU/UNC over 142 Both teams are off losses. The Tar Heels lost at home to Iowa and only scored 55 points and now face East Carolina, who are coached by former UNC guard Jeff Lebo. When these two played two year ago we saw a 93-87 (180 points) game. And ECU's game with Wes Miller's (former UNC guard) UNC Greensboro ended 85-84. Teams are playing a zone against UNC and forcing them to shoot outside and only Marcus Paige is solid from behind the arc (he did miss a late 3 to tie against Iowa and he played high school hoops in Iowa). ECU played a 99-81 game with UNCW and 83-79 with UNCA and 148 points with Hawaii. They just playing a game with FAU that ended with 135 points. ECU is led by Tyson 16 ppg, White at 14 (43% 3's and 92% FT) and Whisnant 11 ppg. Hopefully, someone can get hot and they can reach the mid 60's. And hopefully, they play man to man to allow Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson to score inside. UNC plays at Kentucky next Saturday so I expect this to be a fun game and get Paige, Meeks, Brice Johnson, Tokoto, Justin Jackson, etc. some scoring opportunities in a faster paced game that UNC likes to play. All we need is a 82-64 type of game to get an over. 10* over 142 |

12-06-14 | Florida State v. Georgia Tech +4 | Top | 37-35 | Win | 100 | 19 h 15 m | Show |
10* Ga Tech +4 Florida State is undefeated but has struggled to cover. These two play for the ACC title on a neutral field in Charlotte. Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy last year and won the national title as well. The Seminoles are just average on defense and Winston has thrown too many interceptions. GT has a great running game under Paul Johnson. The Tech offense has a few pass plays as well. I am not sure if the Yellow Jackets can win but I think we see a 3 point game so take the underdogs at +4. 10* Ga Tech +4 |

12-06-14 | Wake Forest v. NC State OVER 133.5 | Top | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
10* over 133.5 This total at 133.5 seems to low for me to open the ACC season. It has moved up at some books to 135. Both are off losses in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The last two years these two have seen 82-67 (149) points scored last year in Raleigh and two years ago was 81-66 (147 points). Wake Forest did play a home game with Iona that ended with 166 as both were in the 80's. Wake is led by Codi Miller-McIntyre at 11 ppg, Thomas 10 points and 10 rebs, Mitoglu at 8 ppg and several at 7 points. NCSU is led by Turner, Barber and Lacey. They played a 84-72 (156 points) game at home with Richmond. These teams know each other as they are located in the middle of the state and hopefully, they play a fast paced game and Wake Forest can make some 3's and we see some FT's made. Thanks and good luck this weekend! 10* over 133.5 |

12-05-14 | Arizona v. Oregon UNDER 72.5 | Top | 13-51 | Win | 100 | 81 h 4 m | Show |
under 72.5 Both teams can score quickly and have great QB's as Oregon signal caller Marcus Mariotta is leading for the Heisman Trophy. Solomon of the Wildcats is solid as well. However, this game is for the Pac 12 conference title and plenty of pressure and played on a neutral field. The first meeting this year saw a 31-24 final that reached just 55 points. The two previous meetings made it to 58 and 49 points. We did see a 56-31 score four years ago. Arizona had 4 overs and 8 unders in 2014 while the Ducks had 6 overs, 5 unders and a push. Hopefully, we see some decent defense and a score in the 60's that stays under. 10* under 72.5 |

12-05-14 | Wyoming v. SMU -4.5 | Top | 53-66 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show |
Wyoming at SMU (#833/834) 7pm 10* SMU -4.5 Wyoming is 7-0 but plays their first road game on Friday. They play their home games at a high elevation and now head to Dallas. Wyoming lost their 3 leading scorers from last year but return Larry Nance Jr.m whose dad played at Clemson. He averages 15 ppg and next is Adams at 10 ppg. SMU has four scorers at 10 ppg or better led by Nic Moore at 14.5. Moreria is 11.7 and Frazier at 11. SMU has lost one home game already and is just 4-3 overall. SMU won at Wyoming 62-54 last year. 10+ SMU -4.5 |

12-04-14 | Central Florida +7 v. East Carolina | Top | 32-30 | Win | 100 | 27 h 29 m | Show |
10* CFU +7 George O'Leary's Knights are 8-3 and beat Baylor in their bowl game last year and also won at Louisville last year. They are #1 in defensive efficiency with 16 int's to go with just 12 TD's allowed. CB Jacoby Glenn has great skills. They outscored their opponents 100-13 in the last 3 games. And they are 14-0 in their last 14 games not played on Saturday. ECU is just 1-6 ATS at home with that one cover vs. rival UNC 70-41. QB Shane Carden has been very good and WR Justin Hardy has solid numbers. Breon Allen has been up and down running the ball. CFU lost one game by 8 and another by 2 plus a bad loss at Missouri early in the year. They don't get blown out often and beat ECU by two TD's last year. QB Justin Holman is 51-78 in recent games and been sufficient. I think we see a 5-point game so take Central Florida +7. 10* Central Florida +7 |

12-03-14 | Iowa v. North Carolina OVER 149.5 | Top | 60-55 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
over 149.5 UNC likes to play fast and got to the 150's with Robert Morris at home and 90-72 (162) with Davidson in Charlotte. This is a high total as Iowa avergaes 130 ppg while UNC is at 146. Games in the Bahamas did go over but had low totals for Tar Heel games. White, Uthoff and Woodbury are the top scorers for Iowa and they have three starters averaging over 50% from the field. UNC is led by Marcus Paige, Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson. Iowa did score 90 vs. Hampton and 86 with NDSU. Hopefully, they can make some shots, hit 3's and we get late FT's and into the 150's. 10* over 149.5 |

12-02-14 | Minnesota -4 v. Wake Forest | Top | 84-69 | Win | 100 | 29 h 6 m | Show |
Minnesota -4 Minnesota plays at Wake Forest on Tuesday in the Big Ten vs. ACC Challenge in one of the first games to set the tone. Minny won at Richmond last year by 15 points and they are a better team than Wake Forest. The Gophers just played at Madison Square Garden and now travel again to the state of North Carolina, where Wake has lost to both Delaware State by 7 and to Iona by 4. Now they face Richie Pitinio's team that won the NIT last year. Minnesota scorers: Hollins 11.7 ppg Morris, Mason, Walker 10 King, Mathieu 8 Wake Forest has Devin Thomas at 11.7 ppg and Codi Miller-Mcintyre at 11.3 and then a drop to 8 ppg. Thomas had 0 vs. Delaware State and that was key to the loss. I think we see Minnesota win by 7 and cover the number. 10* Minnesota -4 |

10* Army +26 The early start on a Sunday plus the holiday break may hurt the atmoshpere of this game. Coach K played at Army and he should take some mercy with a 20 to 25 point lead. Army is off to a hot start and their leading scorer is in the 23 ppg range. Duke has Okafor, Jefferson and Quin Cook to lead the way. Hopefully, the underdogs stay close. 10* Army +26 |

11-29-14 | VCU v. Old Dominion +5.5 | Top | 67-73 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show |
VCU at ODU 10* ODU +5.5 ODU is 4-1 with a loss on a neutral floor to Illinois State. They are 2-0 ATS and SU at home and won 63-57 vs. Richmond, another state rival who was in the CAA. ODU is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 10-4 ATS on Saturdays. They are led by Trey Freeman at close to 20 ppg and Richard Ross at 11 ppg and 59% FG. Next are Arledge, Mosley, Palmore, Baker, Bacote and Taylor. They are well coached by Jeff Jones and play solid defense and aim for low scores. VCU is also 4-1 with no true road games. VCU did win by about 20 points last year at home. Led by Melvin Johnson at 17 ppg, Graham 14 and Weber at 11 ppg. The Rams lost to Villanova by 20 on a neutral court and and are well coached by Anthony Grant. VCU is 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings and over has won in 18 of the last 24 games. This game is close to a sell out and should have about 8000 there but the ODU football team is playing down in Florida at the same time. I think we see a 63-60 type of game so take the points. 10* ODU +5.5 |

11-29-14 | Florida +9 v. Florida State | Top | 19-24 | Win | 100 | 122 h 18 m | Show |
10* Florida +9 This play was at +10 earlier and dropping at some books to below 9 points. Florida's coach Will Muschamp will step down after this year but the team has played better lately. They beat Georgia 38-20 in Jacksonville and had two runners near the 200 yard mark. QB Jeff Driskel was a disappointment so they started using Treon Harris and he has responded with some solid runs and 6 TD's to go with just one interception. The Gators are off a 52-3 home win over a weakling but had a 3 point loss to South Carolina, a 34-10 win at Vanderbilt and earlier had a 10-9 win vs. Tennessee. RB Matt Jones has 788 yards and avergaes over 5 ypc and Kelvin Taylor has 523 yards. FSU is not as strong as last year but are 11-0 with close wins. They beat BC on a late FG as the Eagles ran for 250 yards behind QB Tyler Murphy. They won at Miami by 4, led UVA 27-20 before a late TD and defeated Clemson in OT. QB Jameis Winston has thrown too many int's but rallies the team. They get behind in the first half and then buckle down. I think Florida plays well and FSU wins by 7 so take the points. 10* Florida +9 |

11-29-14 | Michigan +20 v. Ohio State | Top | 28-42 | Win | 100 | 119 h 60 m | Show |
10* Michigan +20 The last three meetings have ended 42-41, 26-21 and 40-34 in this rivalry, which is one of the best in college football. Michigan is just 5-6 and needs a win to make a bowl. Ohio State is 10-1 with their loss at home to Virginia Tech. Braxton Miller was the QB in last year's game while Wolverine starting QB Devon Gardner was 32-45 for 451 yards and 4 TD's in last year's game with the Buckeyes. Michigan has some decent athletes but has done poorly this year. They just lost at home to Maryland by 7, won at Northwestern by 1, won by 24 and lost by 24. The two before that were a 5 point win and a loss by 2 points so most of the losses were not blowouts. JT Barrett is the new Ohio State QB and he has done well but hasn't played in this rivalry. OSU beat Indiana 42-47 in their last game but Hoosier running back Tevin Coleman had 228 yards and 3 TD's. Michigan has RB Smith who has 515 yards and 6 TD's. He played in last year's meeting. I think Ohio State wins by 14 and Michigan plays hard for coach Brady Hoke, who may be coaching his last game at the Ann Arbor university. 10* Michigan +20 |

10* Tulsa +18 ECU has struggled on the road. Even with Shane Carden at quarterback and WR Justin Hardy the offense has be average on the road and the weather should be cool tonight even in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa has been down this year but all we need is for them to stay within 17 points. I think we se ECU win by 14 to 17 points so take Tulsa. 10* Tulsa +18 |

11-26-14 | Butler +10 v. North Carolina | Top | 74-66 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
10* Butler +10 Butler won 82-71 two years ago in Hawaii and they meet early Wednesday in the Bahamas. Butler jumped ahead by 20+ at half and won the rebound battle by 10. Both teams are 3-0 but Butler has played some weak teams. UNC did play Davidson on a neutral court and won by 18. UNC is led by guard Marcus Paige as well as Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson. JP Tokoto and Justin Jackson are solid as well. UNC is a deep team but not great at shooting 3's and FT's. Butler is not a tall team to easily beat UNC but can stay within 10 with: Kellen Dunham 19 ppg Kelan Martin 11.5 ppg Roosevelt Jones 10.5 ppg/9 assists Cameron Woods 9 ppg/9 rebs Keep in mind this game starts at 12 noon and will have a small crowd. UNC will be looking for revenge but I think we see a game in the 77-70 range so take the points. 10* Butler +10 |

11-25-14 | Miami (FL) -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 77-74 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
Miami has a good offense and solid defense and led by newcomer Rodriguez. They are well coached by Jim Larranaga. Miami beat Charlotte on Sunday and they turn around and play again today. Charlotte is a decent team but I don't expect a big crowd tonight and think Miami can win by 9 points as they will control the pace and get most of the defensive rebounds. Miami by 9 10* Miami -6 |

10* over the total I was hoping to get a 5.5 but 6 is ok. These two have combined for 23 overs and just 15 unders this year and the last 4 meetings have seen total goals of 7, 10, 7 and 7. Hopefully we see a 4-3 type of score or atl least get a push. 10* over 6 |

11-24-14 | Gardner-Webb v. Old Dominion OVER 134 | Top | 46-58 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
10* over 134 Both teams are off big losses yesterday ad playing their third game in 4 days. ODU was just 2/17 from 3's and has just 4 points at the 10 minute mark. ODU lost and scored just 45 points and now play a team that is fast paced and their games average 154 ppg. ODU has reached 70 vs. LSU (and were just 11-23 at the FT line). They scored 76 vs. UNCW. Their home game with Richmond is a rivalry that reached 120. ODU is getting 19 ppg from Trey Freeman and he shoots 92% from the line. Ambrose Mosley is shooting just 28% but can get hot. Richard Ross is at 11 ppg and shoots 62% FG and is an inside threat. Arledge is at 8 ppg but did have 19 vs. UNCW. Palmore, Bacote, Baker and Nik Biberaj contribute for Jeff Jones' Monarchs. Gardner Webb is known as the Runnin'Bulldogs and their games have seen 152, 142, 147 and 175 this year and going back to last year they saw 169, 146, 154, 154 and a high scoring OT game. The two before that reached 135 and 120 and they were road games. GW is led by Hill at 17 ppg and Tsenior PG Tyler Strange at 14 ppg and 7.4 assists. Nelson is at 14 ppg and shoots 55% FG and Davis 12 ppg. If ODU can make some early shots and get into a running game this should reache the upper 130's or higher. I like our chances for an over. 10* ODU/GW over 134 |

Led by Shawn Kemp Jr. at 14.5 ppg and 57% FG, Andrew Andrews at 12 ppg and Upshaw and Williams-Goss at 11. Pacific won at home vs. a small school but lost by 18 at Cal Irvine. Hopefully, we see Washington play solid defense and win by about 16 and cover. 10* Washington -13 |

10* USF +15 USF is off to a 3-0 start as they are led by Perry at 19 ppg, Allen, Collins and Morillo at close to 10+ per game. Collins has 17 assists as well. NCSU will be at home and they are 3-0 as well with a 12 point win vs. Hofstra and big wins vs. weak teams. They are led by Anthony Barber and Turner as both score in double figures. I think we see NCSU win by 10 to 12 points. 10* USF +15 |
|||||||
11-22-14 | Boston College +19 v. Florida State | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 86 h 9 m | Show | |
BC +19 Boston College only lost by 14 last year when the Seminoles were a great team. BC QB Murphy playedat Florida before transferring so he should be motivated against FSU. The home team is ranked #1 as they are undefeated but seem to fall behind early and claw their way back and win without covering. My guess is that BC stays within 14 to 17 points and covers the spread. Jameis Winston and company may be looking ahead to the Florida Gators on the schedule after just beating instate ACC rival Miami. 10* Boston College +19 |

11-22-14 | North Carolina v. Davidson +13 | Top | 90-72 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
10* Davidson +13 UNC beat Davidson in overtime at the Dean Dome last year. Brian Sullivan scored 33 points as he was 7/14 from 3's. Sullivan is averaging just 5 ppg after being at 12.9 last year. Kalinosky scores 13.5 ppg for the Wildcats and so does Michelson and he is making 82% from the field as well. Barham and Belford are at 12 ppg and Gibbs 11 per game. Ekwu and Aldridge are in the 7 pts/6 rebounds range for coach Bob McKillip's team, that is 2-0 so far facing two weak teams. Davidson does lose leading scorer De'mon Brooks from last year. Davidson did lose to Clemson by 31 last year, by 13 to Virginia, by 11 to Wichita State and were smashed in their opener 111-77 at Duke. In last year's game with the Tar Heels, Davidson had 0 blocks while UNC had 11. This game will be played in Charlotte on a neutral court, but Davidson is located nearby. UNC is 2-0 with some weak foes so far and this will be their first game away from Chapel Hill. Marcus Paige is their only outside threat. JP Tokoto is shooting guard who can't shoot but he can pass and dunk. He shot just 50% FT's last year. Freshman Justin Jackson starts as well as junior Brice Johnson, who replaces JM McAdoo. Center Kennedy Meeks is an inside threat and has lost 50 pounds since last year. Davidson needs to stay in a zone and keep Paige in mind but the junior is more of a second half player. UNC wins by 8 to 10. 10* Davidson +13 |

11-21-14 | Temple +18 v. Duke | Top | 54-74 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 16 m | Show |
10* (#593) Temple +18 This game will be played at the Barclay's Center in New York. Temple is 2-0 but only lost one key player (Pepper) from last year. They are used to playing UConn, Louisville and other decent teams like Cincinnati. The Owls have solid players like Will Cummings, DeCousey, Dingle, Brown and Williams. Duke is 3-0 and just beat Michigan State by 10 on a neutral court. They are led by Jahlil Okafor, Jefferson, Winslow, Quin Cook and Tyus Jones with Sulaiman coming off the bench. Temple played at Duke three years ago and lost badly but 3 key players were on th court for Temple and Cummings played when the Owls won at home earlier that year by 78-73. Hopefully, we see Temple brebound misses and stay within 18. 10* Temple +18 |

10* UNC +6 (7:30pm Thursday) #113/114 Duke has won the last two meetings as UNC led late but the Blue Devils won close ones by scores of 27-25 and 33-30. These two are rivals and located less than 10 miles apart. Last year's game was close in yardage (461/448). UNC QB Marquis Williams ran for 104 yards while Logan had 92. Duke just lost at home 17-16 to Va Tech and won at Syracuse but it was 10-10 in the 4th. Duke won at Pitt in OT but the Panthers missed a late FG to win it. Duke won at Ga Tech by 6 and lost at Miami 22-10. UNC has won 3 of 4. They beat Pitt by 5, lost badlly at Miami, won at UVA by 28-27, beat Ga Tech at home by 5 and lost at Notre Dame by 7. Duke's Anthony Boone played in last year's game and Crowder has been solid as a receiver. Other previous games were wins by UNC 37-21, 24-19, 19-6, 28-20 and 20-14 in OT. And before that was a 45-44 close game. Duke is rarely favored in the matchup between thwo two and it makes it a different dynamic as opposed to being the underdog. Duke is 8-2 while UNC is 5-5 and needs to win another game to become bowl eligible. UNC plays NCSU next at home. Duke may win but let's hope it isn't by more than 6 points. 10* UNC +6 |

11-20-14 | Drexel +9 v. Miami (FL) | Top | 46-66 | Loss | -103 | 16 h 46 m | Show |
Drexel vs. Miami 3pm EST 10* (729) Drexel +9 Miami is off a big win vs. state rival Florida on the road and now must travel to a neutral court. Drexel is 0-2 while Miami of Florida is 2-0. Drexel had to go to Colorado to start the year and they lost by 18. Then, they played Big 5 rival St. Joe's in Philly and it was a close 62-59 loss. Now they hear south to face Miami of the ACC and coach Jim Larranaga, who used to be at George Mason and faced Drexel coach Bruser Flint back in that conference. Drexel has Damion Lee, a 6'6" scorer who had 23 in the last game. Tavon Allen and Rodney Williams are key players as well. Miami is led by Angel Rodriguez, who is from Puerto Rico and used to play at Kansas State. He's averaging 20 ppg and Sheldon McClelland is at 14 ppg. I think Drexel bounces back and stays within 9 in this afternoon game. 10* Drexel +9 |

WKY is 1-0 and led by TJ Price who scored 22 points in the opener as well as 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Senior Jackson scored 14 in the first game and averaged 10 ppg last year. Senior George Fant averaged 13 points/6 rebounds last season. Harrison-Docks scored 13 in their first game. Western Ky only lost by 17 at Wichita State last year and by just 16 at Rick Pitino's Louisville squad. Minnesota is coached by Rick Pitino's son (Ricky) and lost at Louisville in their first game. Look for a decent game with the underdogs staying within 10. Minnesota 73 WKY 63 10* Western Kentucky +12.5 |

10* Temple +4.5 La Tech on 29 games last year and did so on solid guard play. They won at Southern by 9 in a high scoring game to open the season. They now travel up the Philly to face a tough defensive team with solid guards in the Temple Owls. They won their opener against American 40-37. It must have been an ugly game and the stats show it was a mess. Guard Will Cummings made just 1-13 FG's but did have of of the 7 assists. Cummings is a senior and should bounce back. Daniel Dingle, Mark Williams, Obi and Decousey also contribute. Temple only lost a few players from last year and should be able to stay close in front of their fans. 10* Temple +4.5 |
