02-05-21 | Bulls v. Magic +2 | Top | 119-123 | Win | 100 | 27 h 52 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +2 -105 The Magic (+2) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Bulls in Friday's NBA action. I know Orlando comes in having lost 4 straight and are just 2-12 SU in their last 14, but they should not be a home dog to Chicago. The Bulls aren't playing any better at the moment, as they have lost 4 of their last 5 and continue to find ways to lose games late. Chicago is a mere 2-6 ATS last 8 games as a favorite and are just 1-5 ATS last 6 as a road favorite. Play the Magic +2 |

02-04-21 | Nuggets v. Lakers -5 | Top | 93-114 | Win | 100 | 30 h 7 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -5 -105 The Lakers (-5) is worth a look here as a relatively short home favorite against the Nuggets. I just think because LA is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 and coming off that long road trip, we are getting them at a discount here. Not to mention Denver is getting some love as well, as they have won 6 of their last 7 and covered the number in 6 of those. Knowing how bad Denver wants this game given LA knocked them out of the Western Conference Finals, I think it will add a little extra incentive for the Lakers to show up. It's a primetime game on TNT. Play the Lakers -5! |

02-04-21 | Austin Peay +4 v. Eastern Kentucky | 94-79 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Austin Peay +4 -110 Austin Peay (+4) is worth a look here as a short road dog against Eastern Kentucky in Thursday's college hoops action out of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Governors come in having won 2 straight and will definitely be motivated here to get revenge from a hard fought 75-80 home loss to the Colonels earlier this season. This is also a very tough spot for Eastern Kentucky, as they will be playing on just 1 day of rest after a OT game at Jacksonville State on Tuesday. Play Austin Peay +4! |
|||||||
02-04-21 | Ohio State v. Iowa -4 | Top | 89-85 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Iowa -4 -110 The Hawkeyes (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Buckeyes in Thursday's Big Ten action. I think we are getting a great discount on Iowa at home due to the fact that they come in having failed to cover 3 straight and have to play here on just 1 day of rest. I just don't think the rest thing is going to be that big of a factor for the Hawkeyes. Garza never gets tired and Iowa has really good depth. I know Ohio State has been hot, but I just think it will be tough for them to keep it within the number. Play Iowa -4! |
|||||||
02-03-21 | SMU -1.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 30 h 8 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on SMU -1½ -110 The Mustangs (-1.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against Tulsa in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the American Athletic. This is just one of those games where you got to trust the books. It makes no sense for SMU to be a road favorite here. The Mustangs are fresh off a 22-point loss at Houston have failed to cover 6 of their last 7 and Tulsa is 5-1 at home. When a line looks this far off you got to go against what looks like the obvious bet. Play SMU -1.5! |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Rockets -4.5 v. Thunder | Top | 87-104 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 4 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets -4½ -110 The Rockets (-4.5) are worth a look here as a road favorite against the Thunder. This will be a rematch from Monday, which Houston won 136-106. Rockets have now won 6 straight and are 5-1 ATS during this stretch. While Houston is expected to rest John Wall, OKC will be without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and George Hill. I think those losses for the Thunder are much bigger, as the Rockets have a lot more fire-power than they get credit for. I don't think it will be quite the blowout as the first meeting, but I do think the Rockets win here and cover easy. Play Houston -4.5! |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Blazers +2 v. Wizards | Top | 132-121 | Win | 100 | 28 h 26 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +2 -105 The Blazers (+2) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Wizards in Tuesday's NBA action. Most will be looking to fade Portland in this spot, as the Blazers are dealing with a number of big injuries and are playing on no rest after an ugly 106-134 loss at Milwaukee last night. Good thing about last night's blowout loss to the Bucks is that it wasn't close, which allowed Portland to not overextend the minutes of their key guys. I just don't think the Wizards should be favored here, even at home. Washington is off a big win against the Nets, but are just 4-12 overall and if anything are more likely to come out flat after that big win than build on it. Play the Blazers +2! |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Wake Forest +5 v. Notre Dame | Top | 58-79 | Loss | -108 | 26 h 17 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Wake Forest +5 -108 The Demon Deacons (+5) are worth a look here as a road dog against the Fighting Irish in Tuesday's ACC action. Wake Forest has been an absolute covering machine, cashing a winning ticket in 7 of their last 8 games. Demon Deacons are 0-5 SU in road games this season, but are 4-1 ATS and Notre Dame is a team they not only can cover against but win outright. Irish are also a good fade off an upset win like we have here, as they are 0-6 ATS in this spot the last 3 seasons. Play Wake Forest +5! |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Knicks +4.5 v. Bulls | 102-110 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 5 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +4½ -110 The Knicks (+4.5) are worth a look here as a road dog against the Bulls in Monday's NBA action. A lot of people will be quick to back Chicago with New York coming off an ugly 115-129 loss at home to the Clippers on Sunday, as they will think the Knicks won't have anything left in the tank in the 2nd leg of a back. I'm just not buying it. I would much rather fade a Bulls team that can't seem to figure out how to win. Chicago has lost 3 straight and 7 of their last 10 overall. No loss more painful than the 122-123 defeat at home to the Blazers on Saturday where they had a 5 point lead in the final seconds and somehow lost. Play the Knicks +4.5! |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Blazers +11 v. Bucks | Top | 106-134 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 37 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +11 -110 The Blazers (+11) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against the Bucks in Monday's NBA action. Portland is coming off a thrilling 123-111 win at Chicago on Saturday and while they are playing shorthanded, they haven't let that deter them. As for the Bucks, they seem to be in a bit of a funk right now. Milwaukee followed up a upset loss at New Orleans as a 6.5-point favorite with a 114-126 loss at Charlotte as a 9-point favorite. Bucks probably win here, but I look for it to be much closer than the number set by the books. Play the Blazers +11! |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Georgia Tech +3.5 v. Louisville | Top | 58-74 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 1 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia Tech +3½ -108 The Yellow Jackets (+3.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against Louisville in Monday's ACC action. Georgia Tech comes into this game off an impressive 76-65 win at home against FSU, snapping the Seminoles 5-game winning streak. The Yellow Jackets only two losses in their last 8 games are a 2-point loss at Virginia and 7-point loss at Duke. Two games they were in a great position to win late. Louisville on the other hand has lost 3 of their last 4 and I look for the struggles to continue here. Play the Yellow Jackets +3.5! |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Nets v. Wizards +9 | 146-149 | Win | 100 | 28 h 58 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +9 -105 The Wizards (+9) are worth a look as a near double-digit home dog against the Nets in Sunday's NBA action. Brooklyn is just overvalued right now with their Big 3. While the Nets are a juggernaut on offense, the effort defensively has left a lot to be desired. Brooklyn has allowed 123 or more points in 6 of their last 7 games. I don't see the defensive effort being great in this one, as the Nets will have their eyes looking ahead to Tuesday's big showdown with the Clippers at home. Play the Wizards +9! |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Clippers v. Knicks +8 | Top | 129-115 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 58 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +8 -105 The Knicks (+8) are worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Clippers in Sunday's NBA action. A lot of people might be quick to back LA given they are expected to get back both Leonard and George, but I don't like this spot at all for the Clippers. LA is playing their 3rd road game in 4 days and are in a massive lookahead spot with Tuesday's big game at Brooklyn on deck. New York has also been playing well here of late going 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games. Play the Knicks +8! |
|||||||
01-31-21 | Cal-Irvine -2.5 v. Hawaii | Top | 61-62 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 39 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Irvine -2½ -104 The Anteaters (-2.5) are worth a look in Saturday's rematch with Hawaii. These two teams played Friday night and UC Irvine squeaked out a 53-51 win. The Rainbow Warriors couldn't have got a worse game out of the Anteaters and yet they still couldn't find a way to win. UC Irvine shot just 1 for 14 from and was 6 for 12 from the free throw line. I expect a much better offensive showing tonight and for the Anteaters to win this one going away. Play UC Irvine -2.5! |
|||||||
01-30-21 | Cal-Irvine v. Hawaii +3.5 | Top | 53-51 | Win | 100 | 30 h 56 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii +3½ -105 Hawaii (+3.5) is worth a look as a home dog against UC Irvine in Friday's college hoops action out of the Big West Conference. The Rainbow Warriors snapped a 4-game skid with a 76-53 blowout win on the road against Cal State Fullerton. UC Irvine is sitting on top the Big West standings at 4-0, but have played the easiest schedule to date of any team in the conference. I just feel it has the Anteaters biting off a little more than they can chew tonight as a road favorite. Play Hawaii +3.5! |
|||||||
01-29-21 | Florida International +7 v. Charlotte | 55-63 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 46 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Florida International +7 -108 FIU (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit road dog against Charlotte in Friday's C-USA action on the college hardwood. Good time to buy low on the Panthers, who have lost and failed to cover each of their last 5 games. It's got them catching a way bigger number than they should be against Charlotte. A team they not only can keep it close against, but beat outright. FIU is 13-4 ATS last 17 on the road after playing 3 straight conference games as a dog and the 49ers are 13-28 ATS last 41 off an upset conference win as a dog. Play FIU +7! |
|||||||
01-29-21 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. IUPU-Indianapolis +3 | Top | 68-73 | Win | 100 | 25 h 46 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on IUPU-Indianapolis +3 -108 IUPUI (+3) is worth a look as a small home dog against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Friday's Horizon League action on the college hardwood. The Jaguars are going to be out for some serious revenge here after losing back-to-back games on the road to the Panthers earlier this season. Those two games couldn't have gone much worse for IUPUI, as they shot right around 40% from the field in both games and Milwaukee was over 50% in both games. Those were definitely outliers for the Panthers, as they are shooting just 42.8% as a team on the season. They are also shooting just 40% in road games this year. Play the Jaguars +3! |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Memphis v. SMU -2.5 | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 52 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on SMU -2½ -110 SMU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against Memphis in Thursday's AAC action on the college hardwood. These two teams played Tuesday at Memphis and the Tigers squeaked out a 76-72 win. That matchup was pretty even across the board, which is a good sign that the Mustangs are the smart play here as they should be the more motivated team and now they have the home court edge. Play SMU -2.5! |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Mavs v. Jazz -4 | 104-116 | Win | 100 | 30 h 46 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -4 -105 The Jazz (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Mavs. I think the fact that Utah is playing on no rest after a game against the Knicks last night is playing into a very favorable number here. The Jazz are quietly playing some of the best basketball of any team in the league right now. Utah is a perfect 9-0 SU and 9-0 ATS over their last 9 games. No reason to not ride this thing, especially at this price. Mavs are also a tired team playing their 7th game in the last 11 days. Play the Jazz -4! |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Celtics -2.5 v. Spurs | 106-110 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 16 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -2½ -110 The Celtics (-2.5) are worth a look here as a short road favorite against the Spurs. Boston is surging into this contest off back-to-back blowout wins over the Cavs (141-103) and the Bulls (119-103). They are really clicking on the offensive side of the ball and should be able to keep it going against a Spurs defense that is giving up 112 ppg over their last 4. Spurs are also not playing the best ball here of late. Play the Celtics -2.5! |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Pistons +2.5 v. Cavs | Top | 107-122 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 49 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +2½ -105 The Pistons (+2.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Cavs in Wednesday's NBA action. Most are going to be quick to lay the short number here with Cleveland at home against a Detroit team that is just 4-13, but I really don't like the spot here at at all for the Cavs, who just put everything they had into Monday's home game against the Lakers. I also like the fact that the Pistons are coming into this game with some momentum off a 119-014 upset win against the 76ers. Play Detroit +2.5! |
|||||||
01-27-21 | BYU v. Pepperdine +6.5 | Top | 73-76 | Win | 100 | 22 h 2 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pepperdine +6½ -110 Pepperdine (+6.5) is worth a look as a home dog against the Cougars in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the West Coast Conference. These two teams just played each other at BYU on Saturday and while the Cougars won 65-54, there were a lot of positives to take away from that game for Pepperdine. The biggest being their defense holding BYU to just 65 on their home floor. I look for the Waves to be the more motivated side here and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled off the upset in the rematch. Play Pepperdine +6.5! |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Oklahoma +5 v. Texas | Top | 80-79 | Win | 100 | 28 h 24 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma +5 -115 The Sooners (+5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Longhorns in Tuesday's Big 12 matchup. Oklahoma comes into this game rolling off 3 straight wins. The most recent being a convincing 75-68 win over Kansas at home. Texas was able to bounce back from their first loss in Big 12 play with a 82-67 win at home over Kansas State, but the injuries are starting to pile up for the Longhorns. Forwards Greg Brown, Brock Cunningham and Kai Jones are all questionable to play. Either way I like the Sooners to keep this close and wouldn't be surprised at all if they won outright. Play Oklahoma +5! |
|||||||
01-25-21 | Thunder v. Blazers -5.5 | 125-122 | Loss | -106 | 30 h 19 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -5½ -106 The Blazers (-5.5) are worth a look at home against the Thunder in Monday's NBA action. Portland is playing without 3 of their best players in CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins, but they still got one of the best players in the league in Damian Lillard, who is coming off a 39-point game on Sunday against the Knicks. Lillard will be the best player on the floor tonight and I look for the Blazers to make easy work of a struggling Thunder team. OKC has lost 3 straight and are also on no rest after playing their second straight game against the Clippers on Sunday. This will also be OKC's 4th straight on the road. Play the Blazers -5.5! |
|||||||
01-25-21 | Syracuse v. Virginia -6 | Top | 58-81 | Win | 100 | 29 h 6 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Virginia -6 -110 Virginia (-6) is worth a look at home against Syracuse in Monday's college hoops action. The Cavaliers have been absolutely rolling in ACC play. Virginia is a perfect 6-0 in conference action and while they only beat Georgia Tech by 2 on Saturday, that was the first time they won by fewer than 9 points inside the ACC. I actually think that close call will have them that much more locked in for this game against the Orange. Syracuse is coming off a couple of impressive wins over Miami and Virginia Tech, but both of those were at home. Also a much harder spot here for the Orange playing on the road with just 1 day of rest. Play the Cavaliers -6! |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Maryland v. Minnesota -6 | 63-49 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota -6 -108 The Gophers (-6) are worth a look as a home favorite against Maryland in Saturday's Big Ten action. Some might think this is a bad spot to back Minnesota coming off that big upset win at home over Michigan, but I see no letdown from the Gophers given they are just 4-4 in Big Ten play. Minnesota is a perfect 4-0 at home in Big Ten Play and have not lost at Williams Arena this season. Maryland is just 4-7 since starting the season 4-0 and are 2-6 in Big Ten play. Play the Gophers -6! |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Connecticut v. Creighton -7 | Top | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 19 h 46 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Creighton -7 -108 Creighton (-7) is worth a look in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big East. The Bluejays are going to be extremely motivated to take the floor in this one as they come in having lost 2 straight after starting out 6-1 in Big East play. UConn is simply going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Huskies are a good team when healthy, but are without their best player in James Bouknight. UConn simply doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace in this one. Play Creighton -7! |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Knicks +4 v. Kings | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 46 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +4 -105 The Knicks (+4) are worth a look here as a small road dog against Sacramento in Friday's NBA action. New York comes in having won and covered 3 straight games as a dog, but even with this success the betting public has a hard time backing this team because of how bad they are perceived to be. I'll stick with the Knicks, especially with what I've seen out of Sacramento of late. The Kings are 2-9 SU in their last 11 and have failed to cover 9 of their last 10. Look for New York's defense to be the difference in this one. Play New York +4! |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Nuggets v. Suns -1 | Top | 130-126 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 46 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -1 -105 The Suns (-1) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Nuggets in Friday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Phoenix at home. Denver has been overvalued a lot early on this season and this feels like another one of those games where they are getting too much respect. Nuggets are just 5-9 ATS in their 14 games. Suns are 8-5 SU and 8-5 ATS, but have only played 4 of their 13 games so far at home. Phoenix is 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS at home. Play the Suns -1! |
|||||||
01-21-21 | San Francisco v. Santa Clara +3 | Top | 73-50 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 18 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara +3 -110 Santa Clara (+3) is worth a look here as a small home dog against the Dons in Thursday's West Coast action on the college hardwood. Tough spot here for San Francisco coming off a hard fought 63-72 loss at home to BYU and another big game on deck at home against St. Mary's on Saturday. Really easy for the Dons to not show up with their best effort here on the road against a talented Broncos team. San Francisco is 5-14 ATS last 19 on the road off a home game and 0-6 ATS last 6 off a conference home loss. Play Santa Clara +3! |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Lakers v. Bucks -1 | Top | 113-106 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -1 -100 The Bucks (-1) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on their home floor against the Lakers. LA is a great team and the public will definitely be on them here off a loss in their last game, but this is just too good a price to pass up with Milwaukee at home. As much as the Lakers will want to get back in the win column, there's no doubt this game means so much more to the Bucks. Lakers have not performed well on the road vs Eastern Conference teams, as they are just 4-13 ATS the last 2 seasons. Play Milwaukee -1! |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Chattanooga v. Samford +1.5 | 70-64 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 59 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Samford +1½ -110 The Bulldogs (+1.5) are worth a look here as a small home dog against Chattanooga in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Southern Conference. Samford snapped their 4-game losing streak with a 82-78 win at home against Western Carolina and Look for them to stay hot against the Mocs, who come in having lost 4 of their last 6. It's important to note that Samford is playing their 4th straight at home and are 10-2 ATS last 3 seasons after playing their previous 2 games at home. Play the Bulldogs +1.5! |
|||||||
01-20-21 | Pistons +6 v. Hawks | Top | 115-123 | Loss | -101 | 27 h 1 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +6 -101 The Pistons (+6) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Hawks. Detroit is just not a team the betting public likes to play and it has them showing value right now. Pistons are a strong 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games. As for the Hawks, they are a team that's way overvalued right now. Atlanta is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. This team shouldn't be laying this kind of number against any team right now. Play the Pistons +6! |
|||||||
01-20-21 | VCU v. St Bonaventure -2.5 | Top | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 28 h 6 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -2½ -110 St. Bonaventure (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against VCU in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Atlantic 10. The Bonnies are one of the best teams in the A-10 this year and simply put should be a bigger favorite in this spot. VCU is a solid team, but are getting a little too much love having won 8 of their last 9. They have failed to cover each of their last 3 games. Also, home favorites (Bonnies) that have won and covered 3 straight as a favorite of 7 or more and are playing a team that won their last game but failed to cover as a favorite are 30-8 (79%) ATS since 1997. Play St. Bonaventure -2.5! |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Thunder v. Nuggets -9.5 | Top | 101-119 | Win | 100 | 30 h 50 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -9½ -105 The Nuggets (-9.5) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against Oklahoma City in Tuesday's NBA action. For starters, the books are begging you take to take the Thunder and the public is taking the bait. Denver has played better of late, but not to where they should be laying double-digits. That tells me the books really like the Nuggets here. Denver has owned OKC of late, they are 6-1 SU and 6-1 ATS against the Thunder over the last 3 seasons. Play the Nuggets -9.5! |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks -8 | Top | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 23 h 53 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -8 -105 The Hawks (-8) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against the Timberwolves in Monday's NBA action. Minnesota just can't catch a break as they are once again without their best player in Karl-Anthony Towns, who is out with Covid. They are also going to be without Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez. Whenever Towns has been out this team has really struggled to just be competitive. As bad as Atlanta has been playing this is a team they can make easy work of at home and they got no choice but to show up with how much they need to get this thing turned around. Play the Hawks -8! |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Bulls v. Mavs -7 | Top | 117-101 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -7 -105 The Mavs (-7) are worth a look here as a relatively big home favorite against the Bulls. This is a big time play against Chicago in a very tough situational spot. Not only is this the final game of a long 6-game road trip out west, but the Bulls are coming off a brutal 2nd half collapse in a 125-127 OT loss at OKC on Friday. I just don't think Chicago will be up for the challenge here. Play the Mavs -7! |

01-17-21 | CS Bakersfield +2 v. Hawaii | Top | 83-72 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield +2 -109 CS Bakersfield (+2) is worth a look here as a small dog against Hawaii in Saturday's rematch. These two teams played last night and the Roadrunners took home the win 60-55. That's now 4 straight wins for Bakersfield. Rainbow Warriors couldn't get anything going offensively last night and I don't expect it to be any better in the second go around. If anything I think the Roadrunners win even easier in the rematch. Play CS Bakersfield +2! |
|||||||
01-16-21 | CS Bakersfield v. Hawaii -1.5 | 60-55 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii -1½ -110 The Rainbow Warriors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Friday's late night action on the college hardwood. Hawaii has only played 4 games and while the first two were cupcakes, they did show well in their two games at UC-Riverside. They won the first matchup 88-83 as a 6-point dog and while they lost the rematch they covered as a 5-point dog in a 68-70 loss. Big home court edge for Hawaii and I fully expect them to take this one. Play the Rainbow Warriors -1.5! |

01-15-21 | Clippers -6.5 v. Kings | 138-100 | Win | 100 | 31 h 37 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6½ -105 The Clippers (-6.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Kings in Friday's NBA action. While LA has failed to cover each of their last 3 games, I think that's playing into the favorable number here. The biggest thing is the Kings are not playing well at all. Sacramento is just 2-6 SU in their last 8 games and have gone a dreadful 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and that's with them playing their last 5 games at home. Play the Clippers -6.5! |

01-15-21 | Hawks v. Jazz -6 | Top | 92-116 | Win | 100 | 30 h 45 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6 -105 The Jazz (-6) are worth a look as a relatively cheap home favorite against the Hawks. Atlanta has really fallen off since their hot start and while they come in off a win at home against the 76ers, that was a depleted Philadelphia team they took down. Not to mention they shot just 37.4% from the field in the win, marking their 3rd straight game where they shot worse than 38%. Utah on the other hand is rolling. The Jazz have have won and covered 3 straight and are getting it done on both sides of the ball. Play Utah -6! |

01-13-21 | Pelicans v. Clippers -6 | Top | 106-111 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 44 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6 -105 The Clippers (-6) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Pelicans in Wednesday's NBA action. While LA has been hit or miss here of late, I'm confident the Clippers will show up with a big effort here in a game that will be televised on ESPN. You also have to look at how New Orleans is playing right now and it's not good. Pelicans have lost 3 straight and are a disappointing 4-5 overall. We know they will be without starting point guard Lonzo Ball and there's a chance they could be without both starters in the backcourt, as shooting guard Eric Bledsoe is questionable to play. Play the Clippers -6! |

01-13-21 | Nets v. Knicks +5 | 116-109 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 24 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +5 -105 The Knicks (+5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Nets in Wednesday's NBA action. As difficult as it may be to back New York after their last 3 games, where they got absolutely destroyed and failed to break 90 points in all 3 games, I'm confident the Knicks will be ready for this game against one of their biggest rivals. As for Brooklyn they have not been playing great. While they come in off a win over the Nuggets they will be on no rest and still without 2 of their best players in Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie. Play the Knicks +5! |

01-12-21 | Spurs v. Thunder +2 | 112-102 | Loss | -103 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +2 -103 The Thunder (+2) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Spurs in Tuesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Oklahoma City right now. The Thunder have won and covered each of their last 3 games, winning all 3 outright as a dog. Spurs are also in a tough spot here. San Antonio is going to be without their best player in DeRozan and are also playing their 5th and final game of a 5-game road trip. Play the Thunder +2! |

01-12-21 | Miami-FL -2 v. Boston College | 62-84 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 26 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL -2 -105 The Hurricanes (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against Boston College in Tuesday's ACC action on the college hardwood. Miami comes in at 5-5, but injuries really hurt them early on. The Hurricanes have been playing much better of late, despite a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. The 3 losses in this stretch were a 2-point setback at Va Tech, a 1-point loss at home to Clemson and a 2-point loss at home to UNC. They snapped the losing streak on Saturday with a 64-59 upset win at NC State. Look for Miami to stay hot against a BC team that just can't figure out how to win games. The Eagles are just 2-9 and 0-5 in ACC play. Play the Hurricanes -2! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4 -100 The Kings (+4) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Pacers. Most will look to fade Sacramento here as they are just 1-5 SU in their last 6 and have failed to cover 5 straight. Thing is the Kings are catching the Pacers at the right time. Indiana has benefited a ton from playing 7 of their first 9 games at home. Look for them to come out a bit flat here in their first game on a West Coast trip. Play the Kings +4! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets -4 -105 The Hornets (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Knicks. While these two teams come into this game with the same 5-5 record, but they are headed in different directions. Charlotte has won and covered 3 straight and are averaging 111.0 ppg in this stretch. The Knicks have lost and failed to cover each of their last 2 and scored a mere 89 points in both games. I'll take the better team at this price all day long. Play the Hornets -4! |

01-11-21 | Colorado v. Utah +3.5 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 38 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Utah +3½ -110 The Utes (+3.5) are worth a look as small home dog against the Buffaloes. The books are begging you to take Colorado here. Utah comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-3 in Pac-12 play. Thing is two of those losses came on the road to UCLA and USC. The other was a mere 6-point home loss to Oregon. Utah is going to be the much more motivated team here at home in desperate need of a win, while the Buffs could be in for a bit of a letdown off their big win over the Ducks. Play Utah +3.5! |

01-10-21 | Indiana v. Nebraska +7 | Top | 84-76 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nebraska +7 -108 Nebraska (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Hoosiers. It's been a rough go for the Cornhuskers in Big Ten play. Nebraska is winless in conference play at 0-4, but they did just cover at home against Michigan State and while they didn't cover in losses at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan, they were right there in both games. They lost by 14 as a 13.5-point dog at Wisconsin and by just 11 at home to Michigan as a 7.5-point dog. This is also a tough spot for Indiana playing their second straight on the road and playing on just two days of rest after that grueling double-overtime loss at Wisconsin. Play Nebraska +7! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +11½ -101 The Bulls (+11.5) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Clippers in Sunday's NBA action. The books just don't want to give this Chicago team any kind of respect and it's turned them into a covering machine. The Bulls have covered the number in each of their last 4 games and 7 of their last 8 overall. This team is clearly playing with a chip on their shoulder. As for the Clippers, they have kind of just been going through the motions early on and I could see them struggling to get up for this one. Play the Bulls +11.5! |

01-10-21 | Jazz v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 96-86 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 37 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7½ -105 The Pistons (+7.5) are worth a look here as a pretty sizeable home dog against the Jazz. Detroit just pulled off a big upset win at home in their last game, beating the Suns 110-105 as a 8-point dog. It was the Pistons 4th cover in their last 5 games. Utah comes in off a huge upset win at Milwaukee, but with the Jazz on just 1 day of rest and playing their 5th straight on the road, I look for them to struggle to muster up the energy needed to turn this into a blowout. Look for Detroit to keep it close and maybe pull off the upset. Play the Pistons +7.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -2½ -109 The Pacers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Suns in Saturday's NBA action. For whatever reason the books just don't want to give this Indiana team the respect they deserve. Pacers are 6-2 SU and 6-2 ATS in their first 8 games They couldn't be catching Phoenix in a better spot, as the Suns will be playing their second straight on the road on no rest after last night's OT loss at Detroit. While Phoenix will be running on fumes, the Pacers are playing on two days rest and have had to do almost no traveling early, as this is their 6th home game in their last 7 contests. Play Indiana -2.5! |

01-09-21 | Northern Illinois v. Miami-OH -7 | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH -7 -108 The RedHawks (-7) should have no problem covering as a decently priced home favorite against Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action out of the MAC. Big get right game for Miami (OH) coming off back-to-back losses and the Huskies are just the team for them to get right against. Northern Illinois is a mere 1-8 on the season and that lone win came against an awful Chicago State team that is ranked No. 356 in KenPom. Play the RedHawks -7! |

01-09-21 | Richmond -5 v. George Mason | 77-57 | Win | 100 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Richmond -5 -108 The Spiders (-5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against George Mason in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the A-10. Richmond has yet to string together back-to-back wins in conference play and you can bet that's going to be on their minds, as they look to build off Wednesday's big win at home over Rhode Island. The Patriots are just not on the same level as the Spiders and I really think they will struggle to even make a game of it. Richmond can play their "C" game and still beat George Mason by 6 or more. Play the Spiders -5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Rutgers -2½ -108 Rutgers (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Ohio State in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big Ten. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Scarlet Knights at home. Even more so when you factor in how motivated Rutgers is going to be for this game coming off back-to-back losses dropping them to just 3-3 in Big Ten play after they started out 3-1. Ohio State is better than expected, but are just 2-3 in conference play with a 0-3 mark on the road. Buckeyes just aren't built to win away from home in this league, especially against a top tier team like the Scarlet Knights. Play Rutgers -2.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6 -100 Charlotte (+6) is worth a look as a road dog against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. The Hornets will be riding a wave of momentum into this game, as they snapped a 3-game skid with a convincing 102-94 win at Atlanta as a 5.5-point dog. On the flip side, New Orleans is coming off back-to-back losses and have really been overvalued by the books early on. The Pelicans are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. They are also just 1-3 ATS at home this season. Play the Hornets +6! |

01-08-21 | Suns v. Pistons +7 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 28 h 46 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7 -100 The Pistons (+7) are worth a look as a home dog against the Suns in Friday's NBA action. Really look for Phoenix to struggle to get up for this game against a Detroit team that is just 1-7 on the season. Making it even harder to get up for the Pistons is the fact that this is the first of a back-to-back for the Suns with a much bigger game on deck against a red-hot Pacers team. Pistons are getting healthy for this one with Rose and Josh Jackson expected back. They might not have what it takes to win, but I fully expect them to give Phoenix a run for their money. Play Detroit +7! |

01-07-21 | Wolves v. Blazers -10 | 117-135 | Win | 100 | 30 h 7 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -10 -105 The Blazers (-10) are worth a look as a double-digit home favorite against the Timberwolves in Thursday's NBA action. Good spot here to back Portland. Blazers come in having lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 4. The most recent being a 108-111 loss at home to the Bulls as a 9.5-point favorite. We should get a max effort here from Portland and that should be more than enough for them to make easy work of an awful Timberwolves team that continues to struggle to be competitive without Karl Anthony-Towns. Play the Blazers -10! |

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2 -106 The 76ers (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Nets on Thursday. Philadelphia will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back, but that's not as big of a setback as Brooklyn playing without Kevin Durant. 76ers are also 7-1 to start the season and have covered 4 of their last 5. This line should be more. Play Philadelphia -2! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland +5 -110 Maryland (+5) is worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against Iowa in Thursday's Big Ten matchup. As good as the Hawkeyes have been, winning on the road in this conference is no easy task. It's not an ideal spot for Iowa coming off a huge road win against a ranked Rutgers team. Hawkeyes could also be without starter Connor McCaffery. While McCaffery doesn't score a lot, he does all the dirty work and is by far the Hawks best post passer. Look for the Terps to give Iowa all they can handle in this one. Play Maryland +5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +6 -102 The Wizards (+6) are worth a look as a road dog against the 76ers in Wednesday's NBA action. Philadelphia comes in having won and covered each of their last 4 games, but this is a really bad spot for the 76ers in the front end of a back-to-back with a much better team on deck in the Nets. Washington has also been playing much better of late. Wizards have won their last two after starting out 0-5 and both of those came on the road, including a 123-122 win at Brooklyn as a 7-point dog. Play Washington +6! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -2 -102 The Nets (-2) are worth a look at home against the Jazz. There's a chance Brooklyn will be without KD, as he's potentially facing a 7-day quarantine for Covid exposure, but even without him I like the Nets to win and cover against Utah. The Nets are going to come out fired up after losing 4 of their last 5 and are catching the Jazz in a tough spot playing their second road game in 3 days after playing at SA on Sunday. Utah is just 12-31 ATS last 43 games on the road vs top tier teams that are shooting 46% or better from the field, while also holding opponents to 43% or worse from the field. Play the Nets -2! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Warriors +2½ -105 The Warriors (+2.5) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Kings. Golden State will be on no rest after playing the Blazers last night, but I still like them at this price. Steph Curry scored a career-high 62 in the win over Portland Sunday and he's playing with a chip on his shoulder right now as people are bashing him for the Warriors slow start. Thing is, Golden State is 3-3, but two of those losses were on the road against two of the best teams in the East in the Nets and Bucks without one of their best players in Draymond Green. Kings are a decent team, but have lost 3 of 4 and simply should not be favored on the road in this one. Play the Warriors +2.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia PK -110 The Mountaineers (PK) are worth a look here as a pick'em on the road against Oklahoma State. West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country. They are 8-3 with their 3 losses coming against Gonzaga, Kansas and Oklahoma. The most recent was against the Sooners. They just dug themselves too big a hole early, falling behind 38-20 at the half. They rallied but just didn't have enough in the tank, losing 71-75. Expect a much better start in this game. Also, bit of a letdown spot for Oklahoma State coming off a huge upset win on the road in OT against Texas Tech. Play West Virginia PK! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +1½ -105 The Pacers (+1.5) are worth a look as basically a pick'em on the road against the Pelicans. Indiana is coming off a shocking 102-106 loss at home to the Knicks as a 10-point favorite, but some of that was just them not showing up against a bad team. That outcome only makes me like them more here, as this is one of the best teams noone is talking about. The Pelicans are a good team, but a bit overvalued in my mind. Play the Pacers +1.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -6 -100 Atlanta (-6) is worth a look as they host the Knicks in Monday's NBA action. The Hawks are showing value here coming off an ugly 91-96 loss to the Cavs on Saturday. While that's a game Atlanta probably should have won, them not producing at their normal level shouldn't have come as a surprise. That was an awful spot for the Hawks playing on no rest after laying it all on the line for a second straight game against the Nets. The Knicks are 3-3 to start the year, which is a bit of a surprise, but also nothing to overreact to. The talent simply isn't there. Look for Atlanta to rebound and win here with relative ease. Play the Hawks -6! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +11 -109 The Grizzlies (+11) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Lakers. Memphis showed they aren't going to just lay down after losing star point guard Ja Morant to an injury, as they just went on the road and blasted the Hornets 108-93 in their last game. The Lakers have won 4 of 5 and are just so much better than a lot of the teams they play. This just feels like one of those games where they just go through the motions for 3 quarters and try to pull out a win late. Play the Grizzlies +11! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4½ -100 The Kings (+4.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action that has them playing at Houston for the second consecutive game. Sacramento came up painfully short in a 3-point loss on Thursday, but I like them to not only come back and cover in the rematch, but win this game outright. Rockets are still learning how to play together with all the new pieces and they just don't play enough defense to be trusted. Play the Kings +4.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -4 -110 The Blazers (-4) are worth a look here as a relatively small road favorite against the Warriors. Even with Draymond Green set to play for Golden State, this is just not a good team right now. They simply aren't shooting the ball well from behind the 3-point line. That includes Steph Curry. Wiggins and Oubre Jr are jacking it up all over the place and not producing. Wiggins is shooting 36.8% from the field and Oubre is a pathetic 26% from the field. Portland just has too much fire-power with Lillard and McCollum. Play the Blazers -4! |

20* SHARP PLAY on St. Peter's -5½ -105 St. Peter's (-5.5) is worth a look in Friday's MAAC matchup at Canisius. The Peacocks are hands down the better team in this one and winning by 6 here won't be a problem. The Golden Griffins are just 1-3 on the season and have lost 3 straight. The two most recent being a 18 point and 28 point loss to Monmouth, who is rated worse than the Peacocks at KenPom. Play St. Peter's -5.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -4½ -110 The Pelicans (-4.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Thunder. New Orleans is just 2-2, but have played a really tough schedule to start out the season. They have played 3 of their first 4 on the road against the Raptors, Heat and Suns and hosted the Spurs. OKC will easily be the worst team they have faced so far and I just don't see them losing this game and 4.5 isn't a big number to cover. Play the Pelicans -4.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2½ -105 The 76ers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Magic on Thursday. Orlando has started out 4-0 and are starting to get some buzz, but let's not overreact. The Magic beat the Heat in their opener, but the other 3 wins are against sub-par teams with two coming against an awful Wizards team. 76ers have won 3 of 4 and are just the better team and this is a great price to back them here. Play Philadelphia -2.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on San Diego +14 -105 The Toreros (+14) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against San Francisco. San Diego comes into this game at 1-3, while the Dons are 6-4. I just feel it has SF laying a few more than they should be against a conference foe. Not to mention the Dons are in a massive lookahead spot with a trip to No. 1 Gonzaga on deck Saturday. Play San Diego +14! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -6½ +102 The Nets (-6.5) are worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has Brooklyn hosting the Hawks. While Atlanta has been impressive in their 3-0 start, their 3 wins have come against the Bulls, Grizzlies and Pistons. The fact that the Hawks are undefeated and that the Nets have lost their last two games, pretty much guarantees we get a max effort from Brooklyn in this one. I just don't think the Hawks will be able to keep pace, as this Nets team can really lock you down defensively when they are engaged. Play the Nets -6.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Butler +6 -115 Butler (+6) is worth a look in Wednesday's college hoops action. These two teams played last Wednesday at Butler and the Bulldogs won that matchup 70-64. I'm not saying Butler will pull of the sweep and win this one too, but I just can't pass up on the 6-points with the Bulldogs in this one. There's a chance Butler could be even stronger for the rematch, as Aaron Thompson, one of their best players, is questionable to return after missing the last 3 games. Play the Bulldogs +6! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards -4 -112 The Wizards (-4) are worth a look as a small home favorite against the Bulls. I'm not sure why Washington isn't favored by more in this matchup. While both teams are 0-3 to start the season, Wizards have been much more competitive in their defeats. Not to mention all 3 of the Bulls losses came on their home floor. Chicago just doesn't play enough defense to be taken seriously on the road against any team. Play Washington -4! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer -2 -111 Mercer (-2) is worth a look as a slim home favorite against Wofford in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Bears have been impressive early on. Mercer is 7-1 with their only loss coming by single digits on the road to a good Georgia State team. Wofford has lost 3 of their last 4 and have just one win vs a D-I opponent and that was against a sub-par Coastal Carolina team. Play Mercer -2! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +8½ -110 The Rockets (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Nuggets. I just think there's a ton of value with Houston because of all the guys they are missing due to Covid. They still got Harden and a good enough supporting cast to be competitive against most teams. We saw that in their opener when they lost by just 2-points at Portland as a 7.5-point dog. Denver is also a team I think is a bit overvalued coming into the year because of their deep bubble run. We already saw the Nuggets lose outright as a 8-point favorite at home to the Kings and by 13 as a mere 4-point dog at home to the Clippers. Play the Rockets +8.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota +1½ -110 The Gophers (+1.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Spartans. I get Michigan State is 0-2 and are desperate for a win, but they are 0-2 for a reason and it's extremely tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially when you play as little defense as what the Spartans have played so far in conference action. Minnesota just pulled off a big home upset against an elite Iowa team and I think they ride that momentum to a win here. Play Minnesota +1.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +8½ -110 The Pistons (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Hawks. The betting public is going to see that Detroit is going to be sitting out both Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose and run to the ticket window to lay the big number with Atlanta, but the books know this. Pistons aren't just going to lay down and the Hawks are primed for a letdown in this spot. Atlanta will have a hard time taking this game seriously with Griffin and Rose out and they got two big games at Brooklyn on deck Wednesday and Friday. Play Detroit +8.5! |

12-27-20 | 76ers -6 v. Cavs | 94-118 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 22 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -6 -105 The 76ers (-6) are worth a look here as a mere 6-point road favorite against the Cavs. Philadelphia beat the Wizards 113-107 in their opener and destroyed the Knicks 109-89 on Saturday. No reason not to think the 76ers won't make easy work of another sub-par team in Cleveland. While both teams will be playing on no rest, the Cavs are at a much bigger disadvantage as their game yesterday with Detroit went to double-overtime. All 5 starters for Cleveland logged at least 38 minutes with 4 playing 42 or more. Just won't be enough gas in the tank for the Cavs to keep this competitive. Play the 76ers -6! |

12-27-20 | Spurs v. Pelicans -5 | Top | 95-98 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 55 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -5 -105 New Orleans (-5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Spurs. This Pelicans team should be a big factor in the Western Conference this year with a healthy Zion Williamson. New Orleans got the season started off with a big 113-99 win at Toronto as a 4-point dog, but lost on Christmas Day to a really good Miami team on the road. Pelicans finally get to play at home and should take care of a Spurs team that has looked good, but are playing their 3rd game in 5 days and second of back-to-back. Play New Orleans -5! |

12-27-20 | Missouri State v. Northern Iowa -8 | Top | 79-59 | Loss | -108 | 26 h 42 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Northern Iowa -8 -108 Northern Iowa (-8) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action that has the Panthers hosting Missouri State. UNI has gotten off to a disappointing 1-4 start, but a big reason for that is their schedule was brutal to start the year. All 4 losses have come against teams who could be playing in the NCAA Tournament in WKU, St. Mary's, Utah St and Richmond. They were competitive in all 4 losses. The Bears are 3-0, but have played nobody and are really outclassed in this one. A motivated and desperate UNI team should have no problem here winning by double-digits. Play the Panthers -8! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons -2 -105 The Pistons (-2) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Cavs. I just think this is a great price to back Detroit and the perfect spot to fade Cleveland off their opening win over what figures to be an awful Charlotte team. Pistons outshot the T-Wolves in their opener, but Minnesota made 24 free throws to the Pistons 3. That won't happen again here. Play Detroit -2! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -1 -108 Cleveland State (-1) is worth a look here as basically a pick'em at home against Youngstown State. The Vikings got off to a slow start, as they lost their first 3 games, but those were against two quality MAC teams in Toledo and Ohio and a much better Ohio State, who they took to the wire in a mere 6-point loss. They have since won back-to-back games over Fort Wayne and they stay hot here against the Penguins. Play Cleveland State -1! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -9½ +101 Milwaukee (-9.5) is worth a look as a big home favorite against the Warriors on Christmas Day. I know this might seem like a lot of points for the Bucks to be laying, but they really should win here by double-digits rather easily. We know we are going to get a big effort from Milwaukee after losing their opener and while Golden State also figures to play hard, they just don't have the talent to compete, especially without Draymond Green. They lost to the Nets by 26 and it could have been much worse. Play the Bucks -9.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -1½ -110 The Badgers (-1.5) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Spartans. I just think the line here says it all. Even after getting blown out at Northwestern in their Big Ten opener, the betting public is going to be all over Michigan State as a home dog. I'll gladly take the other side and take my chances with a very good Wisconsin team that is built to win on the road in Big Ten play. Play the Badgers -1.5! |

12-25-20 | Pelicans +5 v. Heat | Top | 98-111 | Loss | -100 | 31 h 13 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans +5 -100 The Pelicans (+5) are worth a look in the first of 5 NBA games on Christmas Day. There's plenty of hype with New Orleans this year with Zion Williamson a full go from the start, but clearly they still got some work to do to get some respect from the books. Part of it here is they are facing the reigning Eastern Conference champs in Miami. That's just it, the Heat just played in the Finals what seems like yesterday. They looked a little flat in their opening loss to the Magic and it could take a minute before they get back to playing like they did in the postseason. Pelicans are the more hungry team right now. Play New Orleans +5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on South Florida -2½ -108 USF (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Shockers. This is just not the same Wichita State team as the previous years and I just feel they are still getting a little too much respect from the books. I like what I've seen out of this Bulls team. South Florida has won 4 straight and just beat Cincinnati on the road in their last game. This is just too good a price to pass up. Play the Bulls -2.5! |

12-22-20 | Ball State -5 v. Western Michigan | 76-68 | Win | 100 | 21 h 57 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State -5 -108 Ball State (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Western Michigan. I believe we are getting the Cardinals at a discount here due to them coming off a 10-point loss at Indiana State. This is just not a very good Broncos team this season. They did win their conference opener against Central Michigan, but they are way down. That's their only win against a D-I opponent. Look for Ball State to make easy work here. Play the Cardinals -5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115 The Leathernecks (+5.5) are worth a look here as a slim dog against Tennessee Martin. Western Illinois is 1-4, but have played a really tough schedule. As for the Skyhawks, they are 3-0 but have played one of the easiest schedules. They could also be 1-2, as they needed double-overtime to win at home against Evansville and snuck out a 2-point win over SE Missouri State. I'm not so sure this line shouldn't be closer to a pick'em. Play Western Illinois +5.5! |

12-20-20 | Oklahoma State +8.5 v. Texas | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 23 h 35 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma State +8½ -110 Oklahoma State (+8.5) is worth a look in Sunday's Big 12 matchup at Texas. I just think this is a few too many points for the Longhorns to be laying in this one. Oklahoma State had started out 6-0 before losing at home to TCU. Sure the loss looks bad, as it was a game they were expected to win, but they did lose by just 1-point. They got the offensive fire-power to hang with Texas and even win this game outright. Play Oklahoma State +8.5! |

12-18-20 | Drake -5 v. South Dakota | 75-57 | Win | 100 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Drake -5 -114 Drake (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against South Dakota in Friday's college hoops action. This one is easy for me. These two teams already played once this season and the Bulldogs defeated the Coyotes by 16 points. They held South Dakota to a season-low 53 points. I just feel we are seeing the Coyotes getting a little bit a love here off a big upset of in-state rival South Dakota State. That was a nice win, but it also had both teams playing their 3rd game in 3 days and anything can happen in rivalry games. Play Drake -5! |

12-17-20 | San Francisco +8 v. Oregon | Top | 64-74 | Loss | -113 | 22 h 44 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113 San Francisco (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against Oregon. The Pac-12 has not looked great early on this season and while Oregon comes in 4-1, I don't think this is an elite team by any means. The Dons are more than capable of going into Oregon and giving the Ducks all they can handle. San Francisco has already secured a win over Virginia and beat a decent Nevada team by 25. They also just barely lost to Cal in their last game 70-72. Play San Francisco +8! |

12-16-20 | Toledo v. Marshall -6.5 | 96-87 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -6½ -108 Marshall (-6.5) is worth a look as a short home favorite against Toledo. The books just keep underestimating this Thundering Herd team. Marshall is 4-0 SU and have gone 3-0-1. Last time out they were a mere 3-point home favorite against a good Ohio team and won by 14. Now they face another top tier MAC team in Toledo and I just don't see a much different result. Marshall is lighting it up offensively and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 80 or more and 11-2 ATS last 13 off a in by 10 more. Play the Herd -6.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on San Diego -5 -108 San Diego (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Col Poly. This is just feels like a great time to buy low on the Toreros. This is a talented team, but come in 0-2 after opening the season with games at UCLA and home vs Nevada. Cal Poly is 2-2, but one of those wins was a cupcake non-DI opponent and the other was against a bad San Jose State team. I look for the Toreros to win and win easy. Play San Diego -5! |
