4* Major on Davidson +3.5 Bottom Line: The books are clearly begging for the public to take #3 seed Marquette here, but I won't fall for the trap. Davidson has won 17 straight and returns all 5 starters from a team that took Louisville down to the wire in last year's NCAA tournament. The Wildcats have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 NCAA tournament games, and I expect this trend to continue as they pull off the shocker against Marquette.

5* Wiseguy NCAA Tournament GAME OF THE YEAR on New Mexico State +9 Bottom Line: The public has fallen in love with Saint Louis and books are looking to cash in big time by elevating the line. The Billikens are clearly overvalued at this number, and I'm ready to take full advantage. Plays against favorites that have won 80% or more of their games and have covered the spread in 6 or 7 of their last 8 games that are up against a team that has won 60% to 80% of its games are 65-31 ATS the last 3 seasons. This system is a perfect example of the way oddsmakers like to jack up the line on hot teams. The Billikens are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 versus the WAC and New Mexico State has proven itself time and time again late in the season against good teams. The Aggies are on a 22-9 ATS run in the month of March. They are also 12-4 ATS lifetime under coach Menzies versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game - after 15+ games. Take the points as New Mexico State gives Saint Louis a run for the money.

4* Major on Bucknell +4 Bottom Line: Butler has impressive wins over Indiana and Gonzaga on its resume but hasn't looked like the team that defeated those squads lately. Bucknell is the real deal behind 6'11'' forward Mike Muscala.

5* Wiseguy NBA Line Mistake Game of the Year on Magic +11 Bottom Line: The Knicks have gone from being a 10.5-point underdog at Utah last game to being an 11-point favorite at home. That's one of the biggest line jumps you'll ever see and it's not warranted. Carmelo Anthony returns to the lineup, but the Knicks did not perform well the last time he returned after sitting out several games. In fact, they were blown out by 29 at Golden State. Melo's return throws a hitch in the giddy-up of New York. Orlando was crushed in Indiana last night but will have no problem getting up for this one as they have lost the season's first three meetings and will be motivated to avoid the sweep. The Magic are 26-15 ATS after a loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons, 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Pound Orlando.

5* Wiseguy NCAA Tournament *PUNISHER* on Middle Tennessee State +3 Bottom Line: Dayton is a long way from home for Saint Mary's, which has struggled away from its home court versus non-conference opponents this season. It has especially struggled over the years versus quality defensive teams like Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders rank 15th in the country in scoring defense, allowing only 57.8 ppg. That number is significant because the Gaels are only 15-30 ATS all-time under coach Bennett when playing away from home versus good defensive teams that hold the opposition to 64.0 points or less. Saint Mary's is also on a 10-23 ATS slide away from home versus teams that outscore their opponents by 12+ points/game. Middle Tennessee hasn't gotten much love from analysts but will earn a little respect tonight.

5* Wiseguy NBA *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Mavs +5 Bottom Line: The Thunder can't be trusted on the road laying this many points against a team playing as well as Dallas. The Thunder are 3-4 in their last 7 on the road with only 1 win coming by more than 4 points during this stretch. That was against lowly Charlotte. The Thunder are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Mavs have won 5 of their last 6 with the only loss in this stretch coming by 1 point at San Antonio. Keep in mind OKC just lost by 12 at San Antonio. The Mavericks are 23-7 ATS in their last 30 games overall and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. They've covered the number in 2 of 3 against OKC this season with one of those being a loss of only 3 points at home. The underdog is a potent 22-6-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings. Grab the points.

Golden State is 25-12 ATS under Jackson in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses. They have lost these contests on average but only by 2.6 points.

The Rams finished a game shy of the Billikens in the regular-season standings with a 76-62 loss at Saint Louis being one of the defeats that cost them a share of the title. I expect a much different result on a neutral floor. Underdogs that have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games that are 43-15 ATS since 1997 when matched up against a team that has covered in 12 or more of its last 15 games. This system, which shows clearly that the value lies with VCU, is 3-1 ATS this season and 16-4 ATS the last 5 seasons. Bet the Rams.

4* Major NBA Underdog Shocker on 76ers +5 Bottom Line: Tough spot for the Pacers playing their second game in as many night and third in four days. Plus, it's on the road where they are just 14-17 on the season. Philly enters this contest with confidence after giving Miami all it wanted and more last time out. It also enters rested as it has had the last two days off. Philly has lost the season's first two meetings and was embarrassed 88-69 when Indy visited last month. The 76ers, who have a winning record at home, should have an excellent chance to pull the upset as I fully expect them to take the Pacers down to the wire. The Pacers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The 76ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on two days of rest. Lastly, the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Boston will be out for some serious revenge, and it should also be the much fresher side. The C's have had two days off while the Bobcats will be playing their second road game in as many days.

The Bobcats blew a double-digit lead and lost in OT in the last meeting so they'll be hungry to say the least. Also, the Zips won't have Alex Abreu this time around. He played a pivotal role in both of the wins against Ohio so he will be greatly missed. The Bobcats are an awesome 33-12 ATS when playing with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent - since 1997 and have won these games by an average of 4.4 points.

4* Major Big 12 Championship *BLOOD BATH* on Kansas State +4.5 Bottom Line: The Wildcats were embarrassed 83-62 in Lawrence after playing the Jayhawks to a 4-point game in the first meeting. That loss will have the Wildcats extremely motivated this evening. Bruce Weber is an outstanding coach. We're talking about a guy that has been the national coach of the year and the coach of the year in all 3 leagues he's coached in. That's why it should come as no surprise that his teams are an outstanding 33-17 ATS when looking for revenge against a team that dropped 75 points or more on his squad. His teams have actually bounced back to win by 4.0 points on average in these spots. I expect Weber to make the necessary adjustments and for a great effort from the players to lead to a K-State cover.

5* Wiseguy on Cavaliers +7.5 Bottom Line: I love Cleveland's chances of keeping this one within the number considering it has had 2 days of rest and will be up against a team that just played last night. Plus, Dallas struggles on the defensive end and Cleveland is 9-1 ATS this season in road games versus poor defensive teams that allow 99.0 points or more per game. Dallas like to play uptempo but the Cavs have shown they can hang with such teams, even on the road. Cleveland is 7-0 ATS this season in road games versus uptempo teams that average 83 or more shots per game. No Kyrie Irving, but Cleveland will be the much fresher side.

Washington managed to sneak past rival Washington State last night, but the Huskies have not been good away from home. They've dropped 5 of their last 7 off campus. Oregon has been more reliable away from Eugene where it has won 5 of its last 9 with wins at Washington and UCLA during this stretch.

This time it enters riding high following a big revenge win over Nebraska on senior day and is 22-39 ATS when playing away from home off a home win by 10 points or more since 1997. Iowa needs this one to keep its NCAA tourney hopes alive, but Northwestern will be every bit as motivated because of how badly it was beaten by Iowa during the season. Northwestern is on an 18-6 ATS run in road/neutral floor games after having lost 8 or more of their last 10 games.

4* Major NBA *BLOOD BATH* on Mavericks +9.5 Bottom Line: The Mavs have lost the season's first three meetings with the Spurs and will be very hungry as a result. Dallas is 14-6 ATS when out to avenge a same-season loss to an opponent this season. It is also 79-53 ATS in road games when playing with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent - since 1996. San Antonio had Tony Parker in the first 3 meetings and he averaged 20.7 points in those games. The Spurs will have a tough time covering this hefty number without him.

4* Major on Auburn +5.5 Bottom Line: The value lies with Auburn, which is on a 53-34 ATS run following 2 straight losses against conference rivals. It is also a rock solid 34-23 ATS as an underdog under coach Barbee. Meanwhile, teams headed up by coach Kennedy are a poor 8-20 ATS in all neutral court lined games. A&M isn't the same team away from home, which leaves it susceptible here.

4* Major on Grambling +17.5 Bottom Line: Grambling is 0-27 on the season with losses of 25 and 27 to Alabama A&M. It will be extremely motivated as a result as it looks to avoid the goose egg for the season. I don't believe this line accounts for the level of motivation or the familiarity of the opponent. Having already seen A&M twice is to Grambling's benefit while it's not to A&Ms because the first 2 results will make it easy to look past the Tigers. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 lined games while the Bulldogs are 1-12 ATS in their last 13 lined games. The Bulldogs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 lined games following a loss, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 lined games versus a team with a losing record, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 lined games versus the SWAC and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 lined neutral site games.

5* Wiseguy NBA Blowout Game of the Year on Pacers -14 Bottom Line: The books are begging for money on Minnesota after it crushed the Spurs last night, but I believe Indiana will be ready to rock and roll. Fading the Wolves following a victory is currently on an unbeaten 7-0-1 ATS run. Minnesota has been blown out by 23 and 16 following its last 2 wins. Also, fading the Wolves on the road against teams that carry a home winning percentage above 60% is on a 7-0-1 ATS run. Indiana won by 23 the last time Minnesota visited, and I'm expecting a similar result.

They posted a higher shooting percentage in both meetings but didn't get to the foul line and didn't do a good job of taking care of the basketball. Seattle has really cut down on its turnovers over its last 8 games, and I expect it to make more of an effort to take the ball to the basket. Lay the small number with the more talented team as it has its revenge.

In fact, his teams are 64-38 ATS after a blowout loss by 15 points or more since 1996. His teams have won by an average of 2.8 points in this situation.

4* Major Western Conference *BLOOD BATH* on Mavs -1.5 Bottom Line: Houston ended a 9-game losing streak in the series Sunday, but I expect the Mavs to have their revenge at home where they are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings with a 7.2-point average margin of victory. The Mavericks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss of more than 10 points. Houston is 2-11 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a losing record this season.

5* Wiseguy NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Year on Pistons +3 Bottom Line: This is a terrible spot for the Knicks for so many reasons. It's a fatigue spot as this will be their 3rd game in 4 days. It's a letdown spot following a big comeback win against Cleveland. It's a look ahead spot with the Thunder on deck tomorrow, especially since the Knicks have made easy work of the Pistons in the first three meetings. Meanwhile, this is a strong spot for Detroit. It's had two days of rest and it will be hungry to end a six-game skid in the series. The Pistons are 30-12 ATS when playing only their 2nd game in 5 days over the last 3 seasons and 11-3 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games this season. It's unclear if Melo will play but I love Detroit here regardless.

4* Major Big 12 Best Bet on Iowa State -3 Bottom Line: Iowa State is 15-1 at home and should be 16-0 had officials not blew a charge call down the stretch against Kansas. The Cyclones are tough as nails at Hilton, where the magic has returned under Hoiberg. The Cowboys are a dismal 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600.

4* Major NBA Bailout on Kings +5 Bottom Line: The Nuggets are being overvalued on the road, where they are just 13-19, because the offense has been rolling of late. They are 1-12 ATS the last 2 seasons in road games after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games. They have lost by an average of 9.2 points in this spot. The Nuggets won the season's first 2 matchups big, but the Kings are on a 12-1 ATS run when out for revenge for two consecutive double-digit defeats to an opponent.

4* Major Underdog Shocker on UTEP +3 Bottom Line: UTEP is 6-0 ATS all-time under coach Floyd when it checks in off 5 straight games of committing 14 turnovers or less. It is also 7-0 ATS under Floyd at home and 15+ games into the schedule versus good rebounding teams that outrebound opponents by 4.0 or more per game. UTEP is 8-0 ATS the last 2 seasons versus teams top-level teams that have won 80% or more of their games. It has defeated these teams by an average of .8 points. Look for the Miners to pull off the shocker.

5* Wiseguy Conference USA Game of the Year on Marshall +6.5 Bottom Line: I know So. Miss rolled in the first meeting but that was at home. The Golden Eagles aren't nearly the same team on the road where they are on a 0-5-1 ATS slide and haven't won by more than 4 points during this stretch. The Golden Eagles are also 1-6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in the series and have lost 4 of their last 5 at Marshall. Pound the Thundering Herd.

4* Major on Southern Utah +2.5 Bottom Line: The Thunderbirds are showing some nice value in the home underdog role considering they are 9-4 at home this season. They are 5-2 in their last 7 home games with both of the losses coming by a single point. In terms of the line, they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 at home. I smell an upset on senior night.

5* Wiseguy NBA *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Timberwolves +10 Bottom Line: Playing on double-digit dogs that have won just 25% to 40% of their games and have failed to cover the number in at least two consecutive contests has produced a 175-110 ATS record since 1996. This system is 32-15 ATS the last 3 seasons and 10-4 ATS this season. I don't see Miami giving the Timberwolves its full attention following an emotionally and physically exhausting win in New York Sunday.

The Hawks are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last 6 on the road and 19-5 ATS in road games the last 2 seasons when they enter with wins in 3 of their last 4 games.

5* Wiseguy NCAAB *PUNISHER* on Boston College +5 Bottom Line: Boston College has been extremely competitive at home where it has won 2 in a row and is 10-6 on the season. It is just 3-4 at home in ACC play but 3 of those losses came by 5 points or less and 2 came by a single point to Duke and Miami. In other words, BC has proven it can hang with anyone at home. Virginia, on the other hand, is just 2-5 on the road in conference play and the 5 losses have come by 8 points on average. The Cavs won the first matchup 65-51, but the Eagles are 8-1 ATS at home the last 2 seasons when looking for revenge against a team that held them to fewer than 60 points. BC has won these games straight up by .1 points on average.

4* Major on Marist +4.5 Bottom Line: Marist has won its last two games, and it's not about to let its foot off the pas pedal with a visit from Fairfield on senior day. MAAC followers recall that Fairfield won the first meeting 71-37. That's the kind of loss you just don't forget about. I believe Marist has an excellent shot at revenge here given its recent history at home in revenge spots. The Red Foxes are 14-5 ATS in home games when out for revenge for a road loss to an opponent over the last 3 seasons. They are also 16-6 ATS when out for revenge for a road loss of 10 points or more to an opponent over the last 3 seasons. On average, they didn't win these 22 games straight up. However, they lost them by only 1.9 points on average. It also looks good for us that Fairfield enters off a loss at Manhattan. That's because the Stags are 0-7 ATS the last 2 seasons when checking into a game off a road loss to a conference foe. They have lost by an average of 2.7 points in these contests.
