This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We played against the Knicks on Monday as it won but failed to cover against New Orleans to make it three straight wins all of which have been non-covers and New York is now 0-6-1 ATS. This is typically an auto take but the situation on the other side thumps that. They remain on the road where they went to just 7-7 and the best road win is maybe Toronto as the others have been against no one. They are now underdogs and for a reason. The Spurs are the side here in a home bounce back spot as after a five-game winning streak that included a pair of wins over Oklahoma city, they have lost two straight games, both at home and both by double digits. Here, we play on home teams off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive road wins. This situation is 24-5 (82.8 percent) since 2022. 10* (512) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the RICHMOND SPIDERS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. George Washington snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over St. Mary’s (MD) prior to the Christmas break and it heads into Atlantic Ten Conference action on a modest 4-4 run after starting the season 5-0. The Revolutionaries have played only one true road game and that was at No. 334 Army which resulted in just a 14-point win and they come in overvalued in this spot as a mispriced favorite. They come in ranked No. 80 in the NET and face a Richmond team ranked No. 91 in the NET so there is very little difference. The Spiders have lost two of their last three games including a bad loss against Charleston Southern in their last game which was actually on Sunday so they are in a spot to bounce back quickly. Richmond is 8-1 at home with that lone loss coming against the Buccaneers and have comparable home wins in what is a get right spot. 10* (710) Richmond Spiders

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROOS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. The Pioneers are coming off a decent loss at Tulsa prior to the break by just five points and while a loss is hardly good, it does give some confidence however it was nine days ago and any possible momentum is shot. Denver does own a solid win over Northern Colorado by seven points but of its six other wins, three were against non-Division I teams while the other three were by 2,2 and 4 points against similar ranked teams that they are playing tonight. Kansas City has had a rough go of it as it has yet to defeat a Division I team but they have been more competitive of late and against really solid competition. Now the Roos enter conference action and are actually coming off a win and while it was against McPherson, they have the momentum which Denver lacks and they are catching a huge number which puts them in the buy low spot. 10* (701) Kansas City Roos

This is a play on the MIAMI HURRICANES for our Canes/Buckeyes Dominator. This line opened at 9.5 and has remained steady and we are going with the biggest underdog of the CFP Quarterfinals and the Hurricanes. Miami owned the line of scrimmage against Texas A&M as the Hurricanes had seven sacks and nine tackles for loss on defense against an Aggies team that rarely gave up either. The Buckeyes allowed Indiana to get five sacks of Julian Sayin in the Big Ten Championship and it was by far the most pressure he’s faced this season. This Miami team showed its defense is not overrated as they held Texas A&M to 89 yards rushing and that was the Aggies biggest strength. The Miami offensive line allowed only two sacks and six tackles for loss against Texas A&M which was among the nation’s best in both categories. The key for Miami will be being able to keep their run game going and not having to get into a drop back game. While the Buckeyes defense is one of the best in the country, eight teams they faced were ranked outside the top 50 in scoring including three in the bottom 15 so it is a bit skewed. Indiana gave Miami the blueprint on how to beat Ohio St. and the Hurricanes have the personnel. Here, we play on underdogs after going under the total by more than 21 points in their previous game, in December games. This situation is 21-8 (72.4 percent) since 1992. 10* (257) Miami Hurricanes

This is a play on the MICHIGAN WOLVERINES for our Citrus Bowl Smash. All of the chaos at Michigan is fueling this line but things have settled down. The firing of head coach Sherrone Moore was obviously the big news and that could have been the beginning of the end for the roster but there have only been a handful of opt-outs and interim head coach Biff Pogi said there would be no more heading into the game. The big one is quarterback Bryce Underwood who was feared to opt out but will play and he leads an offense that was actually better than what has been said as the Wolverines finished No. 35 in EPA and they did lean more on the running game which was No. 11 in EPA. Normally this would be a tough matchup but the losses on the Texas defense are enormous. Of their top 12 tacklers, seven hit the transfer portal or opted out but they did retain their top tackler. The Longhorns are extremely thin across all three levels. The Texas offense will have Arch Manning at quarterback but lost second leading receiver DeAndre Moore and the running game lost their top three running backs to the transfer portal so Michigan has the defensive edge. Here, we play against neutral field favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in non-conference games, off two consecutive wins by 10 points or more against conference rivals. This situation is 26-6 ATS (81.3 percent) since 2016. 10* (253) Michigan Wolverines

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our Reliaquest Bowl Winner. This is a great matchup on paper as it is strength against strength and weakness against weakness so we look at the variables surrounding it. Iowa closed the season with a pair of wins over Michigan St. and Nebraska to finish 8-4 and it could have been a lot better. The Hawkeyes lost to rival Iowa St. by three points and its three Big Ten Conference defeats were by 12 combined points against Indiana, Oregon and USC. The first two were at home but this is a team with yet another potent defense and those three losses were against explosive offenses, similar to Vanderbilt, and they held them to 21.3 ppg. The Hawkeyes have a challenge against this Commodores offense and Diego Pavia but how much is he vested after losing the Heisman and partying across the country after. One of his biggest weapons, tight end Eli Stowers, opted out and he was the main third down target. The Hawkeyes offense struggled at times but only against excellent defenses and against below average units, they put up 37 or more points five times and Vanderbilt comes in No. 119 in Defensive EPA. Here, we play against neutral field favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in non-conference games, off two consecutive wins by 10 points or more against conference rivals. This situation is 26-6 ATS (81.3 percent) since 2016. 10* (249) Iowa Hawkeyes
